Sewing Class is beginning again this month! Which means I am once again requesting donations so I can cover supplies for students who aren't able to afford to purchase fabrics.
Because of the donations I've received in the past for other classes, students who wouldn't otherwise be able to make themselves much were able to produce some really wonderful garments that they were proud to wear! Everything from hair accessories, to bags, to whole outfits.
Any little bit helps, but if I reach $100 worth of donations, I will be posting a tutorial for one of the projects I'll be teaching them this term.
I also have a wishlist set up that has a lot of non-fabric supplies that are sorely needed, specifically thread.

I had to make a taco for a class but the teacher was my sewing class teacher and it was so terrifying for some reason that I woke up crying. I don’t know why. But something about it was extremely terrifying.

Speaking of sewing, I remember my sewing assignment in Grade 8 which… didn’t go as planned. In grade 8, we had to make plushies for kids. I wanted to do a bunny design and have Vanny there. However, I was away for 2 full weeks that term became me and my family had COVID. And I was still relatively new to sewing. So my Vanny design… looked like this….

I wanted to add red buttons for eyes, but I didn’t have enough time 😭. Also, I think the ears and the feet side were the wrong way so she looks like a bear instead. Lucky I still got a good grade for it but poor Vanny.

Today is a homework day. I'm taking 2 classes this semester. This is a sampler of an underbust corset I need to make for class.
I thought the sampler was a bit.....boring. So, I dressed it up a little.
Once the markers are dry I can water remove the template lines.
Is it symetrical...no
Is it cute? absolutely!
Is it my size....no...its a sampler, it'll never fit me at this size

Susan McLean, 'Home Economics'
Like other teenage girls in ‘65, I learned to knit, embroider, and crochet, so if I’m teleported back in time a century or two, I’ll do okay. I learned the way to wrap a package neatly, to tie a range of plain and froufrou bows, to minimize my body flaws discreetly, using the cut and pattern of my clothes. I also learned to iron, hem, and baste, to sew on zippers, trim, and appliqué, to choose a…

Fun in Harlem: I had the pleasure of attending the Harlem Fashion Week Sewing Class with the lovely Yvonne Jewnell for the month of January. She is the Co-founder of Harlem Fashion Week. This month's theme was "Warm Clothes."
Ms. Yvonne is such a great teacher and an excellent seamstress. Her demonstrations were always spot on. She also had an incredible amount of patience for those who needed extra care. Not to mention she was a beautiful person and so much fun. I love how she pours into the youth with her HFW Youth Fashion After School Program!
One of the main things that I loved about the class was that we walked away from the class with greater technique and a finished garment. Pictured is the "Infinity Scarf" that I made in class. The t-shirt I'm wearing I made in the Heat Press Workshop presented by Harlem Fashion Week last Thursday. It was so much fun and I loved how the shirt turned out.
The class thought me how to be more patient with myself and allow myself to make mistakes when trying something new. Those who know me know that's not easy for me but this experience has been a great life lesson. The only way you're going to grow is by making mistakes. The great thing is you can always rip the seems out and try again, just as long as you don't give up!
I would highly recommend this class if sewing interests you. The classes are held at Save-a-thon Fabrics Store in East Harlem.

if you haven’t at least tried sewing or crocheting or knitting your own clothes, you really should. even if it’s just one time and you never do it again, i really think everyone should do it at least once
learning how to crochet was what finally made me grasp the abject horror of the fast fashion industry and realize just how laborious and time consuming it is. i have to take a few days off a week so my back/wrists don’t get sore — and i get to do this as a leisure activity in the comfort of my own home, rather than in a sweatshop. it takes dozens of hours to produce a single item. there is just something about trying it yourself that makes you realize just how little the people making our clothes are being paid for retailers to be able to sell clothes at such obscenely low prices.
i understood in the abstract that people were earning literal slave wages to make my clothes, but that concept wasn’t real to me in a way i could understand until i spent 14 hours making something that i myself wouldn’t have even been willing to pay more than $10-20 for if i saw it in a store.
i have not bought any new clothes since learning how to crochet. every time i see clothes at a store (especially obviously handmade items like crochet), and i look at the price tag i feel genuinely sick to my stomach.
i’m not saying everyone needs to make their own clothes in order to be against fast fashion, but what i am saying is if hearing about the conditions and wages secondhand has not been enough to make you stop buying it, if you find yourself becoming desensitized to the suffering of the people who make your things, you should try making something yourself.
you need to see firsthand how physically and mentally demanding it can be and imagine how much worse it would be if you were forced to sit in a sweatshop for 16 hours a day doing it nonstop, earning pennies an hour to do so. you need to spend weeks laboring over something only for it to turn out looking like shit so you realize just how much wisdom and technical skill goes into these supposedly “unskilled” and undervalued jobs. if the abstract concept isn’t enough to get through to you, then you need to get hands on.

My next new sewing term starts on June 5th, so it's time once more for me to ask if you can spare a few dollars to drop in my little tin cup, to help my students afford fabric to create garments they'll be proud to show off.
Because of the funds you've helped me raise for previous classes, each of my students who wouldn't have been able to afford to otherwise were able to sew themselves a top, two types of bottoms, a bag, and scrunchies. At minimum! I am so grateful, and I know that they are as well.
If I'm able to raise at least $100, I'll share a pattern/tutorial for one of the projects we'll be working on through this next term.

no one knows how much it hurts when a little thing dies. when a bug runs its fate is already decided. what made him know he could get away with hurting me? he made me small enough to forget i was ever a person. i forgot and forgot under his boot.

In grade 9 sewing, we had to make a cushion based on a culture for our assessment. I chose Japan and put Hatsune Miku there because I LOVE MIKU.
I’m still so proud of this cushion 😌 I spent lots of hard work on it and my teacher was really proud.
