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. 21, 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.
What to Bring:
• Sewing machine (make sure it is in good working order)
• Basic sewing equipment (scissors, pins, measuring tape, etc.)
• A 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)
• 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. Make sure your machine is in good working order. A few office sewing machines are available upon request. To avoid mistakes, do NOT cut out pants/shorts ahead of class time! No cost to attend. Register by Thursday, Feb. 12 by contacting Kristin at 402‑441‑7180 or kristin.geisert@unl.edu.
*If you choose flannel, purchase an additional ½ yard as it is not as wide.
