Positioning the bee drawing can be a little tricky, as I wanted the bee illustration to be in a particular spot in the finished garment. To achieve that , I cut my pattern piece out of a semi-transparent tracing fabric so I could lay it on top of the panel and see it's position. I know this seems like a lot of extra work, but it has saved me so many times from making a cutting error, that I think it is worth it. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh37HEOcjCe8LTWItICFsMi163tXrwJ-NlQ7KFjlk1KECKTqxGLYs7iSfjVPvDLB3SLsTmukpTMDyuQZ4-2N5w3JJImxVGJ6ffKt3Kt3UHQL3eU6q8wDS-RbrebZE0ENbJyuYWNJAifN4/s6016/DSC_1112.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh37HEOcjCe8LTWItICFsMi163tXrwJ-NlQ7KFjlk1KECKTqxGLYs7iSfjVPvDLB3SLsTmukpTMDyuQZ4-2N5w3JJImxVGJ6ffKt3Kt3UHQL3eU6q8wDS-RbrebZE0ENbJyuYWNJAifN4/s320/DSC_1112.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoTZaf38bvUkw7UFmAnqKH416HDHMNNo0tEHLixnfnGx-mC3WTXLT29-DGpusAVdfPaaA2WQ9YpFywzs9oUG_CWo-piMRrBIh2wuRwfo50W24fDgITpGlYlqsbHtn0kadKJQ-9-p74950/s6016/DSC_1122.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoTZaf38bvUkw7UFmAnqKH416HDHMNNo0tEHLixnfnGx-mC3WTXLT29-DGpusAVdfPaaA2WQ9YpFywzs9oUG_CWo-piMRrBIh2wuRwfo50W24fDgITpGlYlqsbHtn0kadKJQ-9-p74950/w640-h426/DSC_1122.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: large;">In order to get most of the labels to fit, I ended up having to widen the front piece.

conventions, that they would never dare break themselves, or even want
to. Kids find their 'bad behavior' funny. If your children like a character full of naughtiness and grossness, you can hardly
find a better character than a pirate in children's books! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So this hoodie pokes fun at a pirate that is now a skeleton, which is perfect for this time of the year....Halloween. Yet, it isn't just a costume, but a fun shirt to wear all winter long. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpRwb_u7Sz5G4H1vI0XNOTB1fwXuivPR57NhUo0UzymsKId1ZCQ-sxaZLwSPoQ_QKcFjs7C93cR48SR064cEuPL-Y9eYiMHalfQUED7wbjJzm9ysJ6UDu2xESgGGh-ID25l6hQ9QbMxDs/s1953/toppants.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1953" data-original-width="1465" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpRwb_u7Sz5G4H1vI0XNOTB1fwXuivPR57NhUo0UzymsKId1ZCQ-sxaZLwSPoQ_QKcFjs7C93cR48SR064cEuPL-Y9eYiMHalfQUED7wbjJzm9ysJ6UDu2xESgGGh-ID25l6hQ9QbMxDs/w300-h400/toppants.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This comfortable and soft knit hoodie also has matching knit pants.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I see possibilities!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yeap, that is one of my personal style traits:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Using those little bits</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">that others would throw away! </span> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just finished making my granddaughter </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">some new summer clothes that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">are mix- and match with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">similar color tones...watercolors.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While cleaning up my sewing room, I began to think </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of how I could incorporate these</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">scraps into a shirt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The fabrics are 220 gram cotton/spandex </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and they feel so soft yet durable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I didn't want to waste an inch.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The shirt front features a log cabin square, </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">layers of prints, stripes, or a water-color print</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that feels like a solid more than a print.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The dinosaur scrappy t-shirt turned out better that I imagined, but what
to wear with them? Scrappy shorts with <u><b>Dinosaur footprints on your
butt,</b></u> of course. I appliqued the dinosaur footprints onto a piece of the
original black fabric from the panel, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">then cut out the shorts back. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When you sew a collection of garments that all work together transformations are possible. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Add a few solids, such as, lavender knit shorts, white t-shirt, and lime green leggings and the collection is greatly expanded.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So to create my transformational collection, I used this analogous color scheme as my overall plan to make the garments so much more versatile. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since my grandson enjoys clothing that is comfortable and athletic in cut, I made sure that this garment met all his requirements.

<span style="font-size: large;"> The theme for the Project Run and Play Challenge, that I planned on entering, is to use analogous colors when creating a garment for a child. This analogous color scheme is one of my favorite, and I began to search for a print or stripe fabric in a softer tone of this color scheme. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Summer is coming and this is the perfect time to create a new hoodie for summer. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The hoodie that I made is banded on the edge of the hood, and features a analogous Cotton/Lycra stripe that has been inserted as a color block in the
sleeves. The print was used on the diagonal pockets. Lastly, athletic mesh was used to create the body of the hoodie. I love one aspect of the pattern I chose... the diagonal inserts on the side front and back. The pattern used is the <a href="https://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/hideout-hoodie/">Hideout Hoodie</a>.</span><br />

<span data-offset-key="3ihd0-1-0" style="font-size: large;">Since I had never sewn with an open weave mesh like this, I did a little experimenting with the fabric first. <span data-text="true">First, I tried to sew the sample by just serging the seams and it puckered. So, next I sewed it with a slightly longer regular stitch than normal, then I serged the seam slightly inside that row of stitching. This created an enclosed seam that was just perfect.</span></span><br />
<span data-offset-key="3ihd0-1-0" style="font-size: large;"><span data-text="true">On the color-blocked seams on the sleeves, I sewed them with a regular straight stitch, then I coverstitched the seam from the right side of the fabric. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span data-offset-key="3ihd0-1-0" style="font-size: large;"><span data-text="true">A Different Way to Color Block</span></span><br />
<br />
<span data-offset-key="3ihd0-1-0" style="font-size: large;"><span data-text="true"> Sometimes I actually plan my color blocking for garments by directly
pinning (the top of the sleeve) onto a scrap of fabric that I want to
incorporate into the pattern piece (sleeve). I measure how large I need
the color block, then I sew the next piece (bottom of the sleeve) onto
the scrap. On this sleeve, I even coverstitched it too. Lastly, I cut
out the pattern piece with the incorporated color block already a part
of the fabric.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As my granddaughter gets older, they want to have input in what the garments that I sew for them</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">look like when finished. You know what happens during</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> those pre-teen and teen years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I started with this fabric.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivQUpZMm8ur8opqDmBVx8gzF1X_D4XDJyY6xaeofFCeDxt4dKgJ9gksy7HIVKSsH3jyX1uLRYuyDYABpbOsFxVT01ZoqzGvdKbmpJ0I_vC60GCh5lwNIpf-lJudvpn-DIWJl9iufzTM8M/s1600/London.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivQUpZMm8ur8opqDmBVx8gzF1X_D4XDJyY6xaeofFCeDxt4dKgJ9gksy7HIVKSsH3jyX1uLRYuyDYABpbOsFxVT01ZoqzGvdKbmpJ0I_vC60GCh5lwNIpf-lJudvpn-DIWJl9iufzTM8M/s640/London.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Harry Potter at Night in London</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since the print is so saturated with color and design, I went with a solid navy blue fabric for the base of the bomber jacket.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The applique, "London" was drawn right from the fabric.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4-ho2kEw8hNg7-8_aF5cFYYXVA5Vj5LFsrJCs4wXjr7E0TRitCml6AmcaYoc_3crP8m4JgaB4bn3FKbMwuWXBQr9rXtxMIvkd4oCb3G1Q2JKyRWeYObzfCNveG9yWnS-rTKR-4UJvsLE/s1600/london2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1064" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4-ho2kEw8hNg7-8_aF5cFYYXVA5Vj5LFsrJCs4wXjr7E0TRitCml6AmcaYoc_3crP8m4JgaB4bn3FKbMwuWXBQr9rXtxMIvkd4oCb3G1Q2JKyRWeYObzfCNveG9yWnS-rTKR-4UJvsLE/s320/london2.JPG" width="212" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The navy fabric is a sweatshirt fabric that is soft and comfortable. Inside the jacket, I lined it with a soft cotton interlock knit. Ribbed knit finishes the neck, waist and sleeve edges.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By letting her sit down and draw out what the finished outfit would look like, she likes the finished garment. In fact, she's wearing it to school tomorrow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So that jacket lead to a shirt with this applique.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIpJuvESjju2d80t1_C9viw9ElSI7lR5XTn2bQDJGa2raaSz4TYxNBeiD-k64he78a0TgPUOhTRUg4-6id9mhktEJ27czKfpcOuo8TzpphXaupBW8AT7mGZ_OS8cQR1dg3lWD5r-0YdM/s1600/DSC_0661.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIpJuvESjju2d80t1_C9viw9ElSI7lR5XTn2bQDJGa2raaSz4TYxNBeiD-k64he78a0TgPUOhTRUg4-6id9mhktEJ27czKfpcOuo8TzpphXaupBW8AT7mGZ_OS8cQR1dg3lWD5r-0YdM/s320/DSC_0661.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have a print with cute illustrations- use them to carry out your design inspiration. Since the fabric is a 220 gram cotton/Lycra knit, I didn't have to worry about the cut-outs fraying. I did back the letters with WonderUnder and iron them on the fabric first.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I straight stitched around the cut-out. (Now I don't have to worry what will happen when my daughter launders them.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since this print is all about Harry Potter, I had to include him in the collection!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIaDUEJEKOA1NkwAhNZFLTsYJa2xA0P6_ReT1TmnFAHqzqxekayaLap2_YGP0eRAyfDF21Cp-XpgbWVBjFZTEymuAv08deJ-vykqd4mt0no1OfRAXieYGwfllQ9MWrSeN80u3XHEQx2rg/s1600/DSC_0663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIaDUEJEKOA1NkwAhNZFLTsYJa2xA0P6_ReT1TmnFAHqzqxekayaLap2_YGP0eRAyfDF21Cp-XpgbWVBjFZTEymuAv08deJ-vykqd4mt0no1OfRAXieYGwfllQ9MWrSeN80u3XHEQx2rg/s400/DSC_0663.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I know I am not the best artist, but it definitely has that Harry Potter look. I used knit fabric and fabric markers to create it. My friend told me that it looks like Betty Boops brother. Yikes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtraL4NHNeRAS3PM4NSf5kkUjNixj-lBoD6gsMWkI2HSfK-Rc3id7lxkfwNvr9omozF0x_AC9_Lbv6x7PZv6HeFdaPj__4dQWVFU0HedjJz8ou3taWrCkw_cQNpAWVo6RM5Mpu1IhFoE4/s1600/DSC_0662.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1064" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtraL4NHNeRAS3PM4NSf5kkUjNixj-lBoD6gsMWkI2HSfK-Rc3id7lxkfwNvr9omozF0x_AC9_Lbv6x7PZv6HeFdaPj__4dQWVFU0HedjJz8ou3taWrCkw_cQNpAWVo6RM5Mpu1IhFoE4/s320/DSC_0662.JPG" width="212" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, I sewed a simple pair of leggings to go with the collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Done!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When the themes for Project Run and Play Season 22 were announced, I really liked the idea of making something for the Holiday Season. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a child, I loved all the activities that filled the holidays in both our community and at family get-together. Our family would work together as a team, putting up all the Christmas decorations both inside and outside of our house. I would save my money all year to buy Christmas gifts for my family and that made shopping for those special gifts so much fun. Aunts would come over and the cookie baking would begin, and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">little boxes filled with a variety of cookies would overflow.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> At church, we would sing favorite Christmas hymns and wrap gifts intended for recipients of the Giving Tree. At school, we would read holiday stories and have a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">school gathering for the Holiday Sing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On Christmas Eve, family and extended family would gather together. Here is a picture of me at a family Christmas gathering over 50 years ago.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Miss G</span><span style="font-size: large;"> loves animals and has a wonderful sense of humor. I believe she will love wearing this outfit featuring a cute deer wearing earmuffs. The fabric is so soft and comfortable that it is like receiving a hug. The tunic length will keep her warm. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Forget making me dresses Grandma!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> orders my determined granddaughter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I have decided to heed her words and make a comfortable, cozy, and stylish outfit for the cold Minnesota winters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The comfortable part is the soft cotton/Lycra knit fabric, and the cozy part is the warm leggings that are attached to her skirt. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Minnesota winters are cold!.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A girl has to look cute at school.Yet, even waiting for the school bus can be cold, so you have to wear a snowsuit, and an outfit like this fits easily in your snowsuit for the bus-stop wait.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My granddaughter loves BB8</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She can probably tell you about every crazy thing BB8</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> has done in Star Wars films.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I made this fun hoodie for her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It's a bit crazy as you see the BB8 heads I used </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at the end of the hood drawstrings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I love to upcycle clothing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So my personal style is intertwined with my </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">desire to reuse fabric that</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">has so much more life in it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After the hours spent drawing, and hand appliqueing the Yellow Brick Road six years ago, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">it was fun to see it come to life again. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our Hero, Pete the Cat, is just waiting for my grandson to join him </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on his next adventure!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We love to read about him... at school</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and sing his songs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song…because it’s all good.” that's what Pete says.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This hoodie features our</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> hero facing the first day of school, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">an experience that my grandson faced this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we read the book, fears were quieted...school is about reading in the library, playing on the playground with new friends, adding, writing, and learning. Pete Loves It!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is the Pete the Cat hoodie, created to face </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the new challenge of school for my grandson, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">with our hero, Pete, by his side</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">LEARNING TO LOVE SCHOOL! </span><br />

<a href="http://www.projectrunplay.com/2019/09/season-21-week-1-home-sweet-home.html">Project Run and Play is hosting it's Season 21 Sewing Challenge.</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The theme for Week 1 is called Home Sweet Home and your garment is to be inspired by what makes your area of the US so special.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I live in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our home is just a train ride away from all the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">wonderful adventures available in this friendly, cultural city.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing that my granddaughter loves to do is to </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">visit the Shedd Aquarium. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">WHY? </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, my granddaughter loves all creatures, large and small. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever seen a child staring into the depths of the water in an exhibit, and knew the child's mind was just racing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with excitement as she observed and learned? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That was probably my granddaughter!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One special experience that you can do there</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> is to visit the beluga whales. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can meet the belugas where they live! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can stand next to the trainer,
on an underwater ledge, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> face-to-face with a whale. These kinds of learning experiences drive the future world changers to protect their environment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> With her love of all creatures, I knew my </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Future World Changer," </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">would love this hoodie that I created for her.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So you may not think of the Midwest and whales, but our part of the country is filled with opportunities to learn more about the world and all creatures free and wild. From walks in land preserves, lead by a trainer that will help you really see the natural habitat, county farm walks, and access to a huge cultural city like Chicago, our home is so wonderful. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I loved working with the Kantha fabric from Windham fabric. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought this fabric at my local quilting shop in our town, so</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that's a great place to start looking</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for it to make an outfit for yourself.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The edges of the bag are finished with a matching bias tape that I made.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When working with this nylon tent material, how do you securely sew on your </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dritz 1.5" Belting/Strapping?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my suggestion:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.Create a sandwich of nylon tent fabric, sew-on interfacing, and strapping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikH_VzpQSKfpkXEhBVRiWt7RkhkYHZ05GxOpRUYCKBzGWQ7vaSfeUm-57gGSxuQmHAyvtCTwfJhTz9nhj_yfH118QAmY5SDYr55rPu0ALCdbd66Mi7H4QmyXykvHCrE3OAwbODvMDKh1w/s1600/DSC_0389.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikH_VzpQSKfpkXEhBVRiWt7RkhkYHZ05GxOpRUYCKBzGWQ7vaSfeUm-57gGSxuQmHAyvtCTwfJhTz9nhj_yfH118QAmY5SDYr55rPu0ALCdbd66Mi7H4QmyXykvHCrE3OAwbODvMDKh1w/s320/DSC_0389.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Sew a large rectangle as wide as possible through all 3 layers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvrH64W2Z3TMsF9XbNA4cbYuuXFy7104-ZU36nqnOWBbSrOTQW4Slhr88li88EzkCXacfiv7x60V7oVYVSPVuQbmhHi2HvBR2Hqm_EFEI8o5y700qGyXW4oQQaCZGogVJVt4ykmeQKH4Y/s1600/DSC_0390.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvrH64W2Z3TMsF9XbNA4cbYuuXFy7104-ZU36nqnOWBbSrOTQW4Slhr88li88EzkCXacfiv7x60V7oVYVSPVuQbmhHi2HvBR2Hqm_EFEI8o5y700qGyXW4oQQaCZGogVJVt4ykmeQKH4Y/s320/DSC_0390.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
3. Press under the 4 edges of a small rectangle of cotton fabric to form a "patch." I used a fabric from Windham Fabrics in their new "Fantasy" line. Place the rectangle on top of the strapping so it overlaps the strapping about half way. Sew around the edge of the rectangle and then diagonally through the patch from one side to the other.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. Using a small scissors, trim away any interfacing that is showing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-0T96au3HHecNrAsfTN-D0IGwi1VTB7-RpVjoce44N2vRb1Nq1rfwDHHxzbzxdUtHLaPtqB6PhCLcLnKq02hkoscYEwy5uPLmE7GQq-F8UdBx15JqqrdmYvmk4ZeL8pAGVp31MnWVzdk/s1600/DSC_0393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-0T96au3HHecNrAsfTN-D0IGwi1VTB7-RpVjoce44N2vRb1Nq1rfwDHHxzbzxdUtHLaPtqB6PhCLcLnKq02hkoscYEwy5uPLmE7GQq-F8UdBx15JqqrdmYvmk4ZeL8pAGVp31MnWVzdk/s320/DSC_0393.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
5. Now, to make the handle easier to use, fold the strapping in half and sew near both edges, the open edge and the folded edge. Sew only the middle area of the strapping.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2d31M1xpB0wn1Qhrug7cWBQXJv_OX18iHDF2NzdD7fGIYDAtPT1jEsfZk_nzLn1ON-IrBPVqVbwM5dkuXbptpTsZc8Sp0rtQn8WGS4IaHcdvd90NB-KFXpX_54sFQus4OxMFppkww2pc/s1600/DSC_0392.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2d31M1xpB0wn1Qhrug7cWBQXJv_OX18iHDF2NzdD7fGIYDAtPT1jEsfZk_nzLn1ON-IrBPVqVbwM5dkuXbptpTsZc8Sp0rtQn8WGS4IaHcdvd90NB-KFXpX_54sFQus4OxMFppkww2pc/s320/DSC_0392.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
