This summer a group of local artists (and I) decided to teach children's art classes. Well, you certainly can't do art classes without smocks, right? We had some t-shirts left over from a community event and I took on the challenge of converting them into smocks for the kiddos.
Since these needed to be completed in a pinch, I didn't have time to shop for ribbon ties. I needed to use what I had at home. Therefore, I developed a quick pattern that uses only a t-shirt and thread.
I'm quite pleased with how they turned out. Plus, they really withstood quite a bit of abuse.
If you are interested, I created this very quick video demonstrating my process.

The classes ended up being an amazing success and I had a blast teaching. They were so successful that we are planning on offering more in the future. If you live in the Phoenix area, we'll be teaching in October (hopefully!) and again in December and March (during school breaks). I'll update as soon as we have our curriculum in place.
Oh, and on an entirely unrelated topic...I have some very exciting news to share with you this week! Actually 3 bits of exciting news. Stay tuned!
