Drafting Skirt
This summer has been full of amazing classes for adults, teens, and kids. The day time hours have been mostly occupied by children and teens ages 8-17 whipping up darling projects and learning some great skills. There is nothing quite like watching Shelly Figueroa working in a full classroom of 6 young people; she easily handles different projects, learning styles, ages, and abilities. We have taken to calling her the “Marry Poppins” of sewing because of her grace and charm with both the youth and their parents week after week.

Shelly Teaching
In the kid and teen sewing classes at Modern Domestic, kids make projects like envelope pillows, pajama pants, tote bags, summer tunics, a-line skirts, capris, and more. It seems the kids that we have just can’t get enough and keep coming back to sew and take more classes week after week. We have added some more August sessions and a new Project Runway Skirt class where students will get to make as many as three skirts, work with knits, and do some pattern design.

Students Project Planning
Also, we have a few more non-sewing and all ages classes that have been added to the schedule for summer. There is a session of Intro to Surface Design that is all ages, as well as the Bird Mobile class. Susanna Scott is going to get teens silkscreening in a Silk Screen Tote Bag class.
While the regularly scheduled classes at Modern Domestic are for students 18 and up, the class offerings for kids, teens, and all ages just keep growing and growing.
























Trunk Show: Zanna Printed Textiles
Zanna Tote Bags
Staring at the beautiful samples for the Intro to Silkscreen: Yardage classes has not been easy. Many people have asked to purchase them, and all of us at the store have had a powerful urge to carry them home. Finally we are able to do just that as this month’s trunk show features Zanna Printed Textiles by Susanna Scott.

Her designes are taken from nature, and using screen printed yardage, she sews beautiful pillows, totes, small zipper pouches, pet toys and more. All are now for sale at Modern Domestic for the next month.

If you are so inspired, she has room for you to learn her techniques in yardage class, as well as a quicker introduction to the process of silkscreen in the Intro to Silkscreen: Tote bag class. There are still a few spaces left in each of these upcoming classes, as well as newly added Intro to silkscreen: Teens and Open Print Studio, which both begin in August.
