Felting has grown in popularity over the past year and we would like to introduce you to this craft.<br /><br />What is felting, you may ask?<br /><br />Felting is a process that causes felting yarn like wool, to fray and fuse to other fibers around it. In the end it creates a more solid or dense appearance. It can be used to decorate something or simply create a variety of items, like this cute dog, pictured below.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ggs9dArXkzdEI8Nkd5hRYJfDiZgbxTRP5ip0MEiikWqR2O6Cz5Nd2gD0SMgE18cdzl1Ob2_eLmtLEjJDOVt20vqEtdk5pRytYgmpRQO2-9xxAm35xqclwSL37uqn5ZDeNuTo1kFG_b7l/s1280/IMG-20201007-WA0058.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ggs9dArXkzdEI8Nkd5hRYJfDiZgbxTRP5ip0MEiikWqR2O6Cz5Nd2gD0SMgE18cdzl1Ob2_eLmtLEjJDOVt20vqEtdk5pRytYgmpRQO2-9xxAm35xqclwSL37uqn5ZDeNuTo1kFG_b7l/w640-h480/IMG-20201007-WA0058.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">On another note, Create.sewing shop has returned to regular operating hours.

<br />
That is why we launched our virtual lessons on 13 April 2020. What a great experience thus far, being able to teach students all over our continent and beyond.<br />
<br />
We enjoyed it so much, that we have decided to make this part of our regular offering. In other words, no matter where you are in the world, we can now teach you how to create beautiful things or sharpen up your sewing skills.<br />
<br />

Whether you just want to understand how to operate your sewing machine that has been gathering dust or you need help sewing a certain project, we will be on hand to make it all possible.<br />
<br />
The great thing about the lessons are that you can enjoy them from the comfort of your own home, yet it will feel like we are right there next to you. We make use of Zoom, but we are also able to teach you via Skype or WhatsApp video call.<br />
<br />
Cost is only R250 per hour.<br />
<br />
We will also host regular workshops, that will take place in a "group"setup.<br />
<br />
In our next virtual workshop we will teach you how to sew your own fabric face mask, with a pocket for a filter. The class will take place on Friday, 24 April at 10:30. Cost for this class is only R50.<br />

The answer is simple. You need to consider your budget and know what you plan on using the machine for.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
For this post we have decided to shine the light on one of our favourite, trusty machines that we have used to teach many students how to sew. When we started the studio 6 and a half years ago, we decided to opt for the Singer Simple 3232.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1o7IMISG8Sx2cUdtpCc5aeVY9ZOcmEHHK8iN3Yuo1TM_3ji1Bb_WPVCn4hNmP72y6bxVloPSRzFCr_XqX1d2LtngAhnlFZeR9xOVtyAbEerD1bf7INmw8eyjTtdmFNq2nv3SHOoupVv7/s1600/Screenshot_20190819-111831_Instagram.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1033" data-original-width="1076" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1o7IMISG8Sx2cUdtpCc5aeVY9ZOcmEHHK8iN3Yuo1TM_3ji1Bb_WPVCn4hNmP72y6bxVloPSRzFCr_XqX1d2LtngAhnlFZeR9xOVtyAbEerD1bf7INmw8eyjTtdmFNq2nv3SHOoupVv7/s400/Screenshot_20190819-111831_Instagram.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This machine was the perfect option for us, because it combined a sturdy body, affordability and a pretty aesthetic with all the basic features you would need to make almost anything.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The machine boasts 32 built-in stitches which consists of basic, stretch and decorative stitches. It also features a 1 step automatic buttonhole process, which makes it feel almost effortless. We love that you are able to lift the presser foot extra high and that it has an automatic needle threader, which make it a breeze to get the thread through the needle.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwucVWM8RKpQtx86Y2HU8X1NVXOMKtpyGZ_nYD2y859QkplvQ2cGHHTSnAHDliHas0uUBuoWq6mBmDKRStSJPFw2gpqWT2tadxk1Pdv_HT7TZPSYc9thop254-t3IEV8ldRU2qe7H2qt-v/s1600/for+web+use-31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwucVWM8RKpQtx86Y2HU8X1NVXOMKtpyGZ_nYD2y859QkplvQ2cGHHTSnAHDliHas0uUBuoWq6mBmDKRStSJPFw2gpqWT2tadxk1Pdv_HT7TZPSYc9thop254-t3IEV8ldRU2qe7H2qt-v/s400/for+web+use-31.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 3232 comes with several extra presser feet, like a zipper and button foot and even includes an extra pack of needles, seam ripper and a soft cover to protect your machine from the elements.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The machine has an easy to follow numbered path for threading, a front loading bobbin and a thread cutter on the side of the machine. It is able to handle heavier fabrics with relative ease and the heavy duty frame helps against skipping and jumping when sewing and it also means it will last for years.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are interested in seeing this machine in action, join us at our studio for a sewing lesson. We have courses ranging from beginner to advance. Or join us for a project based or private lesson where we teach you what you would like to learn. Contact us on info@createhobby.co.za for more information or to book.</div>

They have recently launched "The Social Crochet Series". What is this you may ask?!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well at least once a month they will teach you the joys of crochet through demonstrating to you different techniques and helping you make a variety of projects. At only R100 a session (excluding materials), Natasha will show you how to crochet anything from circles, that you can transform into a bookmark or earrings, squares that can form part of a blanket and many more exciting projects. </div>

That's why I decided to have a look at what is and will be trending for this season. I have rounded it off to my 6 favourites.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Layering</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This trend is great for the current weather we are experiencing, because you can just take off or add an item as the weather changes. We are talking jumpers over shirts, jackets over jumpers and even coats over jackets. A good tip, is to invest in items like coats, because they keep you warm while making you look super chic. Why not join us at our studio, <a href="http://www.createhobby.co.za/">Create.Hobby</a> and learn how to sew this easy to wear, wrap coat. The statement fabric we used is also available at <a href="https://web.facebook.com/Create.sew/">Create.sewing shop.</a><br />

<b>2. Shimmer and shine</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Silver, especially, is having a moment and it is not just limited to evening wear. Think silver pleated skirts and tops, casual chic slip dresses and my favourite, combining sequins with other fabrics for those that are not brave enough to go full on silver. At Create.sewing shop they have the most stunning reversible sequins in a silver/blue colourway.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>3. Jazzy jumpers</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The easy to wear winter item, jumpers, get a quirky cool update with embellished details like pearls, embroidery and sequins.Our favourite take on this trend is a raglan, sequined sleeve jumper. You can learn how to sew your own, when you join us for a project class in the upcoming months. Contact us at <a href="mailto:info@createhobby.co.za">info@createhobby.co.za</a> for more info. We used the reversible sequins and a super soft grey melange knit from Create.sewing shop to make this one.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>4. Leather</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Or in our case pleather (faux leather) is back with a vengeance. This fabric was spotted on the runways in everything from skirts to leggings. If you would like to add a bit of this trend to your wardrobe, you can learn how to sew your own quilted pleather, panelled leggings at the Create.Hobby studio. Get more info about this by mailing us at <a href="mailto:info@createhobby.co.za">info@createhobby.co.za</a>. If you have something else in mind, you can also purchase this quilted pleather at <a href="https://web.facebook.com/Create.sew/?ref=bookmarks">Create.sewing shop</a>.<br />

<br />
<b>5. Pink hues</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The most loved colour this season is pink in all it's glory. From softer shades of blush to the brightest fuschia. We spotted a few trims and accessories in this colour over at <a href="https://web.facebook.com/Create.sew/?ref=bookmarks">Create.sewing shop</a>.<br />

<b>6. Cardi's</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Who can live without a cosy cardigan. An easy to wear item that goes with just about anything. We reckon sewing up one of your own in this embellished navy/cream stripe knit from <a href="https://web.facebook.com/Create.sew/?ref=bookmarks">Create.sewing shop</a> would be a great idea. On the other hand if knitting is more your thing, the shop also stock stunning wool in a variety of trendy colours from Cowgirl Blues and Yama yarn.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
Damn right, sewing is for everyone! (Just to dive right into answering that question). Now I know you’re probably thinking, because this post is on a blog promoting sewing lessons that has to be the answer, right? I can’t deny that and I won’t; but for a second let’s go beyond that and let me give you a look into what I actually learnt at Create. Hobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtGxGqNqyFAE1XvQhPh4OcINHgkJY79DRa8FJh9PYUVdTZKVyYxvqg75UiZTfyYG5vRWkP-8nW0vg6tNA2XnUkjIxLMoPArIDN6PjltYSNfVtVmejgfDsnYUbhKkl_Kvqr2AP9J_AKHTv/s1600/Learn+to+sew.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtGxGqNqyFAE1XvQhPh4OcINHgkJY79DRa8FJh9PYUVdTZKVyYxvqg75UiZTfyYG5vRWkP-8nW0vg6tNA2XnUkjIxLMoPArIDN6PjltYSNfVtVmejgfDsnYUbhKkl_Kvqr2AP9J_AKHTv/s320/Learn+to+sew.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The first day I walked in honestly not knowing what to expect at all. I was clueless on how to even thread a machine or what any of the many knobs and numbers were for, but my reason for venturing into this unknown territory was my desire to make my own clothes. See, I’m unbelievably short and petite, and I feel like the stores out there are designing clothes for those giraffe size models they’ve got on their runways. I just wanted to make exactly what I like, in exactly my size without all the crazy costs.<br />
Simple enough right? NOT.<br />
I spent ages on YouTube trying to teach myself these skills before I attended lessons at Create. Hobby and I just couldn’t understand why I couldn’t get it right. I looked at my clothes and I could mathematically string together the composure of it (which I think anyone with a fairly logical brain can do), yet every time I tried to make something it came out rather lopsided or too untidy to be deemed wearable. Frustrated and having way too many holes in my body that should not be there, I attacked my laptop keyboard with my plaster-covered fingers in search of some sewing lessons and alas, Create. Hobby and I’s relationship began.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
I wanted to do private lessons as I felt I would get more done with personal training but to be honest, I feel like I should have started with the beginners course. Having known nothing I feel like it would’ve been better to interact with other newbies so that I didn’t feel so alone in my cluelessness and then later on, use the private lessons to specialize in the garments I would really like to make. However, I am glad as I grew a much more personal relationship with my instructor who in fact emailed me the other day asking how my sewing was going.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
This wonderful instructor I speak of, Gailene, emailed me before the first lesson giving me a rundown of what I would need and asked me to right a list of things I wanted to learn. I ended up pitching with an empty notepad and 5 various sized buttons, thinking “Oh God, I have no idea what I want to do and the lesson is going to be a sloppy mess of random information”, which really was not something I was keen on paying for. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
I arrived and Gailene was extremely understanding once she figured out that I was a complete dummie when it came to sewing and where to start. Basically, she guided me throughout the entire process. I figured out the reason those YouTube videos weren’t helping me was because they did not teach me the basics or intricacies which I learnt are truly the most essential parts of making any garment. All those little hems and piping were things I’d never even heard of or known exist, but she introduced me to a whole new world of knowledge. By the second lesson I felt super excited, like an upcoming Louis Vuitton! What I was creating was for the first time store-bought quality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
She made each lesson simple and was extremely patient with my clumsy ways. By the end I was able to insert all kinds of zips, do various kinds of hemming, piping, reading patterns and eventually assemble a shirt which I was making as a gift for a guy friend (you know what I mean) for his upcoming birthday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
I left with this simple knowledge, and use it to create many garments which I am very proud of and wear all the time. More importantly, I now have clothes that actually fit me, thank goodness!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
The lessons weren’t at all time consuming, I did one hour lessons twice a week (although you can set them up in any way to suit your schedule) and had enough knowledge each time to go home and practice what I had learnt. The time ranges are super accommodating, ranging from 9am – 8pm on Mondays and Tuesdays leaving time after work to do some calming, rhythmic learning, 9am – 5pm Wednesday to Friday, perhaps these afternoon classes better suited for future young entrepreneurs looking to start their own clothing line or adolescents wanting to learn something in their gap year (like me). There is even a Saturday morning class from 9am – 2pm accommodating all those completely swamped in the week.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
Another perk is the sewing shop, Create.sewing shop, which is right opposite the road from the studio. Being the complete loskop I am, this was perfect for me as before each lesson I could just pop in and find all the things I needed for the lesson from the list I received approximately a week before (don’t judge, okay). Not only that, they are also stocked with all the latest Singer machines ranging from the simplest machine for all your home stitching and simple creations to heavy duty industrial machines for more entrepreneurial seamstresses and have the most informed, helpful and friendly staff.</div>

So to go back to the topic at hand, is sewing for everyone? With Create. Hobby it sure is! They cater for literally all ages (even those hyper active kids) who have a skill set or knowledge of sewing equaling zero and really, I feel like you don’t even need to have some deep desire to become a fashion designer, just a set of hands (clumsy or not), a little bit of time to learn something new and wah lah! No more spending hundreds of Rands on birthday gifts for that special someone, no more going to a party and running into someone wearing the same shirt as you (those episodes of who wore it best? are personally something I never win) and my personal favorite, having someone come up to you and ask where you got those awesome pair of pants from and with a gleaming smile being able to (finally) say “I made them myself.” Believe me, the amazement of people hearing that in the 21st century there are still people out there with such rare, independent skills is truly the most satisfying result and is definitely worth your time and money.</div>

A new year is often seen as a new beginning, fresh start and an opportunity to kick off on a clean slate. Eat healthier, go to gym and take steps towards a better future are generally on top of the list. I am sure this year has been no different.<br />Here we are just over a month into 2019 and chances are about 70% of people have already given up on their resolutions and goals, but NOT you!!!<br />If learning how to sew is on your list this year, you still have 11 more months to make this happen and Create.Hobby is here to help.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of Create. Hobby's biggest motivations is hearing the success stories after students have completed our courses. It brings so much joy to see the difference we have made in someone's life!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is one of recent success stories, we thought we'd share with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The success story is of Elise Sormani, Founder & Designer of WeAllShareRoots, who has created her own incredible handbag range and is now selling them in Paris and all around South Africa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is a summary of our interview with Elise on how she came up with the idea, the background of the product and the process she went through and what her motivation was.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Elise knew she wanted to try start a line of products, but when she originally came in for sewing classes it was more of a test to see if she even enjoyed sewing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Elise did our Level 1 course in 2015 and then followed it up with some project sewing classes and now has completed also our Level 2 sewing program.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After Level 1, Elise approached us with a whole list of items she wanted to create. The list included bags, dresses, jackets, pants and many more items.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I looked over the list and suggested we start with a bag.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For a few sewing lessons we worked on a bag, Elise carefully planning every little design detail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As she was working on it, I could see that she had a true eye for design.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The bag turned out so nice that it ended up being the prototype that traveled the world. The big tote bag on the brochure is the bag we created in class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In our interview Elise mentioned that she had so much fun putting the fabric combinations together. Playing with colour and prints.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The thing that surprised her when doing the tote shopping bag was she had rather randomly put the fabrics together, but had received such great responses. From fellow class mates comments would be made as she was sewing saying: "oh, I love the bag"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, when she finished one of her first clutch bags she had worn it out to a bar. While she was sitting at the bar someone had commented, asking where she had bought it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the questions coming in were, "where did you buy your bag?" and "I love your bag", "I love the combination of the fabrics". This gave her the idea that creating a range would maybe definitely be something to try and get started and present to the world.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the idea of creating a bag range, Elise started putting more thought into the whole product and motivation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Her inspiration was to bring African products to Europe. She was really in love with african crafts. She loves the african fabrics, the general craft and how innovative many african artist are. She also saw more and more that people love african things. They just sometimes aren't sure how to incorporate them. Her range idea is to bring these small african elements in. So for example taking some of the african printed fabric and accessorising clothing, i.e attaching a pocket in shwe-shwe fabrics or creating bow tie to wear with your day to day clothing. Small tasteful elements.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The second idea was to give something back to South Africa somehow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Being French and enjoying Cape Town so much she felt she needed to give back to the community as a thanks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She also saw that people living in comfort were so disconnected from the problems in South Africa.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She wanted to work with people who weren't in the economic main stream and help uplift communities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This thought inspired her to try and work with local communities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From there on she went into local townships to meet up with people and search for people who could help with the production of the range. The aim is to have an ethical production.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She said that it was such an amazing experience meeting so many lovely people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">People seemed so grateful and happy to be involved. She would receive responses like "Thank you for coming to us".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She could see there is a huge problem where people have skills, but just don't have the right contacts or outlets where they can advertise their services.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Going through the process of finding people to manufacture her bags, she did stumble upon a few problems. She realised it's not easy just working with anyone, but one carefully has to select people to work with. The manufacturing process has been a fun experience, but challenging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The third idea behind her brand and name was, it was very powerful to be based in a country where humanity was born in human kind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While she was working on her first product idea, there were the terrible attacks on tourists in France, there were racial tension issues in South Africa, there just seemed to be racial tensions all over the world. The true message in "We all share roots" is that human kind was born in Africa. "Remember guys, we all originate from the same place.We are all one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are all African. This should bring us together."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The work to follow the idea has been an adventure for Elise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once she came up with the idea and samples she had to look over the production process and how she would get her product out to the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She had to do costings, try find the best prices for her supplies and finalising the supplier list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She also started playing around with more colour and style variations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To get the ball rolling , a huge step was to jump on a plane back to Paris and present her bags to shops.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She wanted to see what the responses was."The French can be tricky" she says.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She was scared and nervous to show off her first bags, she felt like she might be laughed at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But the response from shops was good. People were very interested and wanted to place orders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the responses was that people thought the bags were good quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She felt proud of this comment, as she had made the samples herself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She also felt surprised to see people liked the product so much.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Elise says shops in Paris get so many people trying to show them products and one can easily be turned away. "They will easily turn you away and they are not even polite about it. So receiving the positive feedback was a great compliment."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Just the fact that they spent time with me showed that there was interest. They loved the idea behind the product."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Elise was well prepared for her shop visits.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She had brochures which were well laid out and looked professional, she had a great story, and she had great samples to show.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before she did the trip she had done all her re-search.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She knew if the trip was successful she would go ahead with production.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before she went , she contacted shops in different ways. She first e-mailed shops and then came in to visit them.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A huge tip is to visit the shops you would like to supply and create a relationship with them. Also, stay in contact and keep them updated with your product.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few more challenges have cropped up with planning a range according to seasons as seasons differ between Europe and South Africa.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Advice for people who want to start their own business:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When she first started, she thought you need a business plan. So she first opened her computer and spent weeks looking at a white page. She felt blank.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Actually starting with the sewing class and the product, it was the best way to get started, because you go into the product and into the details. You see the feedback of friends and get a test for the market. You realise the cost and the time."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The company has been running now for almost a year. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She recommends you adapt as you go along.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Second advice, take it step by step</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The whole process seems intimidating and nearly too big to accomplish, but if you only take one step at a time the task doesn't seem so huge.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Try not to anticipate things that are too far away.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First get the fabric, then get the zip and then just get started. The rest will follow.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When she looks back, it looks like a lot has been done, but each step was just a small step which adds up to the big picture.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">every day one task.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">small steps.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She did stumble upon problems registering the name as there is a brand in France that has the word roots, but she is in the process of sorting it out. Again just tackling each problem as they arise.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This problem felt like the end of the world when it came up, but then she took a step back and just tackled it as far as she could and is making progress. "You find solutions when taking small steps."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Try be organised.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you produce, you need to know exactly what you need.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you start to order, everything needs to be there so production can run smooth.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can't stop producing because you realised you forgot the zip.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Understand timelines in production.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep lists of where you have placed what orders and how many units.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let people sign off things when they have accepted products. i.e. delivery receipt.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anticipate, and have a little foresight"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"You need a good support system.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep track off all your costs.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You have to be adaptable with your ideas.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And keep in mind its not always glamorous."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She would recommend people to start their own business, but says don't underestimate it, it comes with many challenges. It looks easy, but you have to put the work and time behind it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We can't wait to see what Elise will developed next for her range.</span></div>

Here is a fun tutorial on how to make a nappy stacker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Sister-in-law kindly asked me to make her a nappy stacker as she could not find a single shop in Pretoria ( South Africa ) that stocked them. Of course I was more than happy to make her one!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 x hanger cover in check fabric </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2x Hanger cover in fusing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 x Body in white cotton twill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 x Front binding of checked fabric (You can fuse these strips if you would like a stiffer look)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2x Base in check fabric and fusing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 x Base in batting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 x Heart in fabric and in fusing<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 1) Iron fusing to matching panels.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 2) Using a zig-zag stitch with a buttonhole stitch length, stitch the fabric heart to the center of the hanger cover. The sitches should cover the raw edge of the heart.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 3) Lay the hanger cover panels right side on top of right side and pin them together. Mark a 3cm gap where the hanger hook will pass through on the top of the cover. Now stitch the side seam together,but leave the 3cm marked space open (We need this hole for the hanger hook). Remember to back-tack at the start and at the end of your stitching. Leaving the base open. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Around the curved edges, nip the the seamallowance into small joints and trim the fabric around the curves. This will make the curves look more smooth once turned inside-out. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Turn the hanger cover to the right side and press it with an iron. Once pressed, insert your clothing hanger. The hook of the hanger needs to be pushed through the top gap of the cover. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 4) To create the base, lay your first fused base panel on top of your batting. Based these two layers together. (Stitch the layers together with a long stitch length.) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your second checked base panel will be the inside layer of the stacker. Roll one of the long edges in twice by 1cm and stitch down creating a hem. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 5) Attach the binding to the centre front (CF) of your body panel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cKImP2KK6Acc0XYFYAlsBbaMx6Lj6yLp4VXmTqvPA2sXJWIBQPWAtTLd6_8oL_E-qFSWtoWg1Fsm3CfshguXze4BNn8O8PH68J59rHI1pWeFLmS_lIe9sNNxBMHgErG0EH7v6-E-DyQ/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cKImP2KK6Acc0XYFYAlsBbaMx6Lj6yLp4VXmTqvPA2sXJWIBQPWAtTLd6_8oL_E-qFSWtoWg1Fsm3CfshguXze4BNn8O8PH68J59rHI1pWeFLmS_lIe9sNNxBMHgErG0EH7v6-E-DyQ/s1600/photo+1.JPG" width="149" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6) Pin you base to the body. (1. Fused base, 2. Body, 3. base with hemmed edge) Start by placing the centre front body to the centre point of the long side of the rectangle. Right sides should be pinned on top of each other. Sew around the edge joining the seam. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 9) If you would like to make the base more sturdy, you can cut thick cardboard to size and slip it into the base.<br />

<br />
To celebrate <a href="http://www.createhobby.co.za/">Create. Hobby's</a> 2nd Birthday I thought I would share our start-up story.<br />
<br />
Just over two years ago we took the big leap and decided to change from private home <a href="http://www.createhobby.co.za/classes">sewing lessons</a>, to opening up our studio. The leap was a big one and we knew it would be a challenge, but we were excited to give it a go.<br />
<br />
We are now in full swing and still enjoying every moment of it.<br />
<br />
Here is how we got to where we are today:<br />
<br />
Step 1 - Finding an office space. We needed a large room with lots of light. This place had potential. A long strip of clear roofing was positioned in the center of the ceiling allowing lots of natural light in.<br />
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Step 2 - Creating something to work towards. My sister, Jenni-Jane Fudge was kind enough to draw up a plan. She was brilliant, from just some pictures I had sent her and listening to my million and one ideas, she managed to put this together.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Step 3 - Putting dreams into action. I had some chandeliers left from my wedding. I felt these would bring good luck as the first time we used them was the best day of my life and they added a elegant touch.</span></div>

Every school holiday we run a sewing camp in which we sew up fund projects. Our last holiday sewing camp was a very special one. With Halloween around the corner we had decided to make fun dress-up costumes. No doubt that this got the girls excited!</div>
<div>
<br />
Now the big question was, what where we going to sew up?!<br />
My first thought was a Tinkerbell dress or a princess gown. Since I wasn't the one that was going to be wearing the costumes I decided to ask the girls what they felt like dressing up as. The discussion went wild. As ideas were being thrown around, the theme Frozen came up and everyone seemed to go crazy about the idea of dressing up as Olaf. Now for those of you who don't know who Olaf is, he is a big chubby snow man with a big front tooth.<br />
<br />
The younger girls loved the idea of dressing up as Elsa. She is the snow queen in the movie.<br />
<br />
Now of course princess and fairies isn't for everyone, we had two girls who rather wanted to dress up as zombies. They started off as Olaf zombies, but the costumes then changed into gorey aprons. </div>
<div>
In the picture:</div>
<div>
We have Elsa and Olaf from the movie Frozen, a couple of zombies and a Halloween themed dress. </div>
<div>
The costumes were all sewn up by the girls themselves!</div>

We started the class of with a simple sewing exercise to get the girls comfortable with the sewing machines and then moved on to our project. It was incredible to see how quickly they learnt to use the machine. By the end of our exercise everyone knew exactly how to thread their own machine and change the stitch settings. Not bad for 7-11 year olds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girls each received a fabric pack with the right fabric combinations for their projects. Our Olaf and zombie costumes were sewn in felt and decorated with thread, paint and fabric pens. Our Elsa's dress was made of a lovely pale blue satin with white ribbon as sleeves and a white thin mesh for her vale and sleeves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girls carefully laid up their paper patterns onto the fabric and pinned them down. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The patterns were carefully cut out then and pinned together for sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were now ready to get sewing. Everyone wound up their machines with the right colour cotton and got going.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each girl sewed up her own costume. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The theme dress-up gave the kids lots of room for imagination. They could go wild with ideas. Each of them had a chance to add their special touch, which made the costumes very unique. </div>

Of course our sewing classes didn't end at just sewing up a Halloween costumes, with spring approaching we sewed and designed our own tank tops and shorts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found some lovely fabric paints and pens on <a href="http://www.takealot.com/">www.takealot.com</a>. With these the girls could create their very own t-shirt print designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each girl cut out and sewed up her own tank top and shorts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the garments were sewn up, we got creative with our pens and paint. </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the things we cover in our level 1 sewing lessons is how to insert elastics. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This tutorial is specially dedicated to my students. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is a fun and easy sewing project for you to do:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We will be sewing up a skirt with a waist elastic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>Materials:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-1,10m of fabric (width 140cm) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">* Tip: A light weight, none stretch fabric will be easier to work with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-1m of 6cm wide elastic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-Matching cotton </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>Measurements you will need:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-Waist</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-Length of skirt you would like</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I chose to do a floor length skirt with a printed viscose lycra fabric, as it has a heavier drape and is soft and comfortable . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 1)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cut your elastic the length of your waist measurement, minus 3cm. (My waist was 62cm, I ended with 59cm).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then stretch it out as far as it will comfortably stretch, and see what this measurement is. Make a note of this measurement. (My elastic could stretch to 117cm)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 2)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Measure the length you would like your skirt to be. I wanted a floor length skirt which measured 107cm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Add on 1cm for seam allowance and 1cm for hem allowance.(End length: 109cm)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 3)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Time to cut your fabric. For the cross wise grain us the stretched out waist measurement (117cm) and for the length grain use the skirt length measurement (109cm).</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 4)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have used a cotton voile zig zag or overlock your rectangle edges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are using a viscose lycra like me, you can overlock the edges as you close up your garment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 5)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pin the elastic to your cross wise grain edge. (This is the edge that will end up in your waist).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To ensure even gathers, pin the elastic in even ratios to you fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have 7 evenly spaced pins on your elastic, match these up with 7 evenly spaced marks on your fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pin the elastic to the right side of the fabric with the edge of the elastic against the fabric edge. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 6)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sew the elastic in. When sewing in the elastic, ensure you are pulling the fabric out toward the back and the front, stretching the elastic into the fabric while you are sewing. Work from pin to pin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are using a overlocker you will overlock the edge of the elastic to the edge of the fabric. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are using only a sewing machine, use a 1cm seam allowance to sew the elastic to the fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 7)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lay your side seam on top of each other. Match the elastic edges up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sew closed your side seam. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have not overlocked your bottom edge yet, do this now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Once the edge has been overlocked, turn the edge in to the wrong side of the fabric and stitch the fold down with a straight stitch.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ever wondered how to keep the kids busy in the school holidays, while learning a valuable skill?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Create. Hobby offers sewing lessons for kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Kids get to sew up fun projects by hand and by machine. Sewing is great to stimulate creativity and develop hand & eye coordination. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It's a lovely social environment in which kids can interact with each other and make new friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With small groups, kids receive personal attention and we guide them step by step through each sewing project. Kids learn to cut fabric, pin garments together and sew. The skills learn don't only stay in the class room, but can also be taken home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had a old pine bed base which just needed a little update. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Materials needed:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pleather or upholstery fabric </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Foam</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hardboard</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Staple-gun</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and if you like a more cushioned look you can add batting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I managed to get the pleather for a good price from Fabric City in Cape Town. Fabric World in Wynberg supplies and cuts foam to size. Pennypinchers in Woodstock supply hardboard and for just an extra R15 they cut it to size. Cash Crusaders or a hardware store supply staple-guns. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Measure the size you would like your headboard to be. I used 148 cm x 75 cm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) Cut the pleather/fabric 30-40 cm wider </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">than your headboard measurement</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> on each side</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. I ended up with a rectangle of 228 cm x 155 cm. A large rim is needed to fold over the foam and the board. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are using batting, cut this 15 cm wider than your measurements on each side.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The foam and the board should be the exact size of your top measurements.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3)Create a sandwich with your materials. Place your pleather/fabric on the floor, lay your batting in the centre of the fabric, then lay the foam centred on the batting and lay your hardboard as the last layer. (*I wanted a square look, so I left out the batting.) </span></div>
