Awesome (Fledgling) Sewistas!

So, you may remember my first Frosting Diet give away back in January. 

Pattern, Fabric and Book

This week I heard from Jodie K, who won that giveaway, and thought I would share this slice of sewing awesomeness with you.

Jodie is a Food Studies and Fashion Studies teacher at a high school, and the students in her Fashion Studies class are entering a fashion show that is part contest and part fundraiser.  Here she is - wearing a top she made from a portion of the fabric she won! - talking about her students and the contest.

First off, kudos to Jodie on the excellent top! I'm so glad the fabric found a more deserving home than mine.

Next, why weren't class projects this awesome when I was in high school?? Seriously!

Here are Jodie's students talking about muslins and fitting and all the things we sewists like to gab about - Cheyanne, Gabby and Bobbie-Joe.  I want to call them Project Runway: The Next Generation. Can you believe they just started learning to sew in February? Their fashion show contest will take place on April 25 - lots of luck Cheyanne, Gabby and Bobbie-Joe!

Anyway, I've decided that I'm having so much fun with giveaways that I'm going to try to make it a monthly event while I continue to sew frosting. Tune in next week for your next chance to win something.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
