4-H youth ages 8 and older are invited to practice their basic sewing skills and learn to use a pattern to make pajama or lounge wear pants or shorts at the Jammie Jamboree sewing workshop on Saturday, March 13, 9 a.m. until about 12:30 p.m. at the Lancaster Extension Education Center, 444 Cherrycreek Road, Lincoln. Adults are needed to attend to help their 4-H’ers.
Bring your sewing machine, basic sewing equipment (scissors, pins, measuring tape, etc.), simple elastic waist pull-on, pajama bottom pattern in appropriate size, pre-washed flannel or 100% cotton fabric — see yardage requirement on pattern envelope (no one-way design fabrics or plaids), elastic as recommended by pattern and matching thread. If you choose flannel, purchase an additional 1/2 yard as it is not as wide. To avoid mistakes, do NOT cut out pants/shorts ahead of class time!
No registration fee. Register by Monday, March 8 by calling 402-441-7180 or emailing Kristin at kristin.geisert@unl.edu.
