All right kids, get ready for Sue’s Holiday sewing series. Our amazing sewing instructor Sue Simoncini has two Holiday sewing classes coming up soon that you might not want to miss, Saturday Sewing for Kids Series: 3-D Christmas Tree Centerpiece (Ages 8-14) and Saturday Sewing Series for Kids: Reversible Fabric Holiday Bowl (Ages 8-14).
In the 3-D Christmas Tree Centerpiece class, you’ll be creating a beautiful centerpiece that you can place on your family’s dinner table, coffee table, fireplace mantle, or wherever you’d like to display the Christmas spirit. You’ll make a stuffed Christmas tree out of calico holiday fabric, and you’ll sew on buttons and beads as Christmas ornaments to decorate your tree with. This is a great way to practice your sewing skills while making a decoration that you can use for years to come.
In the Reversible Fabric Holiday Bowl class, you’ll create a bowl that you can put fruits, decorations, potpourri, or anything else into. The great thing about this bowl is that it is reversible, and you can use it for two holidays. You’ll be using Thanksgiving print fabric on one side and Christmas print fabric on the other side. All you need to do is flip it to match the occasion. This is also a good way to keep those sewing skills fresh, and a chance to create a potential family heirloom.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner, and this is a fun way to get into the holiday spirit. Use these sewing crafts to give as a gift this Christmas or to keep at home. These classes are for experienced sewers only. If you fall into that category, registration information is available online at ColumbusState.edu/CE or you can call 706.507.8070. All materials in these classes are provided for you; you just need to remember to bring a bag lunch and a snack. Happy Holidays!
