4-H youth ages 8 and older are invited to practice their basic sewing skills and make pajama or loungewear pants or shorts using a pattern at the “Jammie Jamboree” sewing workshop on Saturday, Feb. 18, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. at the Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County conference rooms, 444 Cherrycreek Road, Suite A, 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 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 — if you choose flannel, purchase an additional 1/2 yard, as it is not as wide), elastic (as recommended by pattern) and matching thread. Make sure your machine is in good working order. A few office machines are available upon request.
To avoid mistakes, do NOT cut out pants/shorts ahead of class time! No registration fee. Register by Monday, Feb. 6 by calling 402-441-7180 or emailing Kristin Geisert at kristin.geisert@unl.edu.
