It is entirely my own fault that I am stressing out so much right now. I have school in the morning, and have absolutely no idea what the hell I'm going to do for the first session. I don't want to bore them by constantly going over the same things time and again, even though sewing and textiles is kind of repetitive. I want them to find these sessions interesting, inspiring and most of all fun.
So far, we have done basic machine sewing, applique and reverse applique and touched on dyeing. I'm going to do printing with them when the screen has arrived, so that's a session or two for next time, making stencils and whatnot, although it doesn't really help me now. I half want to do more dying with them (mostly because I have an open box of cold water dye now) but other than various types of resist dying, what else can you do?
I do have some fabric crayons we haven't played with yet, and I guess I could get some fabric paints on the way over and just let them draw and paint and dye for an hour.
I have to do a load of research now to get ideas, so you can a short post this evening.
