Wow! Fall is here already! The leaves are beginning to change, coolness is in the air. It’s so refreshing!
This is the anticipated schedule for this fall; I outlined what we’re doing in each Creative Workshop. Please take advantage of sales for getting the materials you need, and you can also be working ahead if you like!
October 12: continuing on the hats & scarves for Jireh Sports and Wheeler Mission
November 9: finalizing the sorting / sizing of hats & scarves for Jireh Sports, and the hats / scarves / mittens for Wheeler. We should have the gender / size list by this time, so when we have the total so far, we will be requesting certain sizes to “fill in the gaps”. We can also share the ones everyone has made for new ideas (in case you’ve made the same hat 6 times, and want to try something new!)
December 14: Christmas stockings for the children at Wheeler. We will be making a smaller stocking, since all the children there are infant to toddler ages. We will have a basic pattern using Christmas fabric and coordinating solids and prints; with contrasting cuffs, toes & heels, if desired; and crazy patch if there’s interest. My goal is to finish them in one session (like we did with the pillowcases in August), especially since we only need 18-20. For this project, fabric ones will work best, and please pre-wash your fabrics in warm water, and dry your fabric in the dryer to preshrink it.
