4‑H youth ages 8 and older, with at least one year of sewing experience, are invited to practice their sewing skills and make pajama or lounge wear pants or shorts using a commercial 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 elastic‑waist pull‑on pajama bottom pattern in appropriate size, pre-washed flannel or 100% cotton fabric — see yardage requirement on pattern envelope , elastic as recommended by pattern and matching thread. Do not bring any one‑way design fabrics or plaids. If you choose flannel, make sure it has a very low nap and purchase an additional 1/2 yard, as it is not as wide.
Choosing a very fuzzy or furry fabric with nap is highly discouraged as these fabrics are very difficult to sew. 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.
