We had a great time today making fabulous Valentine's-themed projects in Advanced Sewing Club. Last month's hoop project was such a hit that I decided to do another hoop project this month.
HERE is a link to my inspiration for this project. I really loved the white flowers on the red background. So striking for Valentine's Day. Making the yo-yos and learning the backstitch to make the stems for this project were new skills for the girls and they learned very quickly! I was so impressed with how well they did with this project. Their flower hoops turned out great!
We also made little pocket pillows with a heart pocket where they can hide a "love" note to someone. They used a running stitch to attach a felt heart, then continued with the running stitch to sewing the front and back together, wrong sides together. I decided to have them sew wrong sides together to ensure a nice round pillow. I have found that sewing with an internal seam (right sides together), you sometimes end up with a pillow that is a bit misshapen due to the spot where the opening is sewn shut. Does that make sense?
