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, Feb. 22, 9 a.m.–Noon 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 (make sure it is in good working order), 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.
Choosing a very fuzzy or furry fabric with nap is highly discouraged as these fabrics are very difficult to sew for beginners. 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. 10 by contacting Kristin at 402-441-7180 or kristin.geisert@unl.edu.
