Fashion January 12 - 16

Let's try again this week and hopefully I get a chance to see you!

We will continue to sew on our final evaluation projects,work on the written component and your designer assignment should be well underway as you had time to work on it during the 4 snow days!

We will discuss the due dates tomorrow as things have changed in light of not getting to school for 4 days last week to sew

Another Snow Day

I hope you are warm and safe.  As I look out the window I see nothing but blowing snow.  Today you will need to start working on your fashion designer project if you have not done so already.  The rest of our class time will likely be spent sewing and finishing up your PJ pants.  The assignment instruction page is below in Monday's post and I will publish it on Showbie as well.  Remember you can access showbie from your mobile device or desktop at showbie.com
