2 weeks of January in review

Since the start of the new year, we have been having a fantastic time in the studio!  Having a break for the holidays is fun and I love spending time with family, but I am always super happy to get back to the studio with our students.  We have accomplished and learned so much these first two weeks back.

We had a big finish by a student who has been working hard on this over-the-shoulder bag.  The front and shoulder strap is quilted, it has a zippered outside pocket, it has inside pockets and is totally lined.  It is a true work of art!!  I can’t wait to see what she makes next.

Two new sewers finished their pin cushions.  Aren’t they sweet?!!

We had a finished woven scarf and an embroidered bookmark.  Both are super cute.

A finished llama stuffed animal!  This is so soft and cuddly!

We learned how to dye yarn…

The hanks turned out gorgeously!!

Lots and lots more weaving going on.  Some of our weavers are creating patterns with pick up sticks!

And lots more sewing.  We were also knitting and crocheting this week.  More on that next time!
