Fabric and supplies:  included!

Besides, you might just make a few items for your best besty.  And, she'll love you for it!
ITINERARY

  • Monday - create an image board (shown in background in photos).  Rip up a bunch of fashion magazines and create a collage based on what catches the eye.  This image board is a great tool and will be referred to throughout the week.
  • Tuesday - Design a bag.  Sketch and put together your "ticket".  A "ticket" describes what the item is, how it is assembled, and what fabrics it will contain.  This process helps a young designer think through their project and helps them manage their time.
  • Wednesday - Finish up the bag, then start on the next project: learning to knit!  Two easy stitches, knit and purl, will be taught and a headband will be knit throughout the week whenever time permits.
  • Thursday - Choose to create bracelets or a scarf.  With the fabrics, other interesting supplies provided, and the image board to be inspired by, add these new accessories to your accessory wardrobe.
  • Friday -  What better way to be envied at lunch but to bring said lunch in a re-useable and fashionable lunch bag!  With fabric, supplies provided, and pattern provided iron on or collage a fabric of your own and sew up a lunch bag.  Finish up any projects that need finishing and have a photo shoot to celebrate!
