4-H youth ages 8 and older are invited to practice their basic sewing skills and make pajama or lounge wear pants or shorts using a pattern at the "Jammie Jamboree" sewing workshop on Saturday, February 24, 9 a.m. - Noon at the Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County conference rooms, 444 Cherrycreek Road, Ste A.
Adults must attend to help their 4-H'ers.
Bring your:
- sewing machine
- make sure it is in good working order
- a few office machines are available upon request
- 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
- matching thread
Choosing a very fuzzy or furry fabric with nap is highly discouraged as these fabrics are very difficult to sew for beginners. To avoid mistakes, do NOT cut out pants/shorts ahead of class time!
No registration fee. Register by Monday, February 12 by contacting Kristin at 402-441-7180 or kristin.geisert@unl.edu.
