This blog post night be my last for awhile. Innovation class is coming to an end, but I want to continue upcycling. Hopefully innovation class continues next year. I don't know if I will continue with this same project next innovation class, but definitely with my free time. I got set back in my project this week because some of my pieces for my apron disappeared so ill have to redo that, but hopefully it won't take me that long.

This innovation week I worked on iron the straps to get ready to sew. When sewing a hem you usually have to iron before so that the fold does not go away. That's what I did for the straps of the apron. I'm cutting the body of the apron next week and sewing the straps.
I'm kind of dissapointed on how slow my upcycling is going. I thought by now I would have more things done, but this apron is taking FOREVER!!! I tried to make the body of the apron, but messed up. I'll save the pillowcase used, but I do have to get a new pillowcase.
It has been a while since this innovation week, but I remeber I worked on adjusting the bands of the apron. It is hard because there is different directions for each band so I have to adjust what I'm doing when working on each band. I sewed the first band and iron the 2 other bands in this class. Sewing next week and starting on the body of apron.
This week I started on a project I plan on continuing for a week or two. I'm making an apron out of a pillowcase. This week I cut the hemmed edge of of the pillowcase and cut that to make the strings for the apron. I plan on sewing the strings next week
I was supposed to bring items this week to start my first up cycle, but I completely forgot to. I continued to practice sewing because I'm still not completely confident with my sewing abilities. I have gotten better with controlling the speed when sewing, but I'm still having trouble being able to not get a crooked stitch.
I continued on practicing sewing this innovation class, but I do plan on doing my first sewing up cycle next class. Right now I have a problem with being able to sew a straight stitch. I'm also struggling with keeping the same speed when sewing. I hope I can fix this! Sewing is tough but I'm glad I am doing this project.
This week was another down week. I was sick this week and did not get the chance to advance on my project. Hopefully I will have the chance to advance on my project this next innovation class.
I was not at class for this week's innovation time. I'm still at the stage of learning to sew. Look at my previous post to see my progress.
this week in innovation time I continued to practice sewing with the sewing machine. My stitches were not as successful this week as much as they were last week. I will continue you to practice on my sewin,b it I need to start actually upcycling clothes and work on my etsy! A lot to work on.
