Did I ever mention our round robin art class? My 4 year old and a few of her friends meet up once a week to do art projects. The idea is to expose them to a bunch of different types of techniques and projects and they have done a wide variety of things. I got to go first and it happened to be that my daughter's friend came over and brought this apron: ...
As school is approaching here are some related projects. Above is a desk organizer made out of plastic bags and clear tape. It was made by a student in my chug/class. Also useful for school are notebooks. Another participant made this notebook cover: ...
My chug/class is bursting with flowers these days, just in time for Tu B'shvat. We are awash in flowers. The top flower is a barrette. It is a circle which the creator stitched around and then pulled to make it puffy and flower shaped. You can sort of see where the thread is pulled. She used felt as the center of the flower and attached it to a headband ...
I know the title starts with Scarves, and I'm including one photo of a scarf at the top, but I am going to start with the updates. Updates Now that Chanukkah/Hanukkah is over we can get back to other topics. I have been working on a variety of graphic design projects but most are identity related and I'm not going to post any at this time. I'm also ...

I'll post photos when they are finished (assuming I remember to photograph them before they get taken home.) Here are a few clothing items that the girls made in the meantime:

Just wanted to let anyone interested know that I haven't been posting about doll clothing projects because we are on hiatus until after the holidays. We will probably be meeting on another day this year as well. Probably Tuesdays, but we have not decided yet. Anyone who would like to know about the class and when it meets should contact me via the cont ...
I wanted to post pictures of some of the finished projects from the doll clothing classes. The girls are very creative and are always coming up with new ideas. I don't have pictures of all the works made in the class, but I'd like to share what I can. Finished shorts: Build a bear sheep is sporting a happy birthday hat. The shorts are made from an o ...
Notes on socks and t-shirts- material Here are a few comments and suggestions for people who might be interested in running a doll clothing workshop using materials such as socks and t-shirts. These are based on things learnt in the course of our chug/class. Cutting When cutting holes in socks or other materials, advise participants to make sure th ...
Week five we worked on accessories which we continued week six and seven, shoes for bears and dolls. I found several baby bootie patterns for us to experiment with. I also found a cute viking shoes tutorial from a blog called Earth and Living and its use with children here. I thought I would give the girls ideas and a choice in what to make. I also offe ...
