Order your "Teacher-in-an-Envelope" Patterns:

Apron for Artists & Chefs Pattern 
        Sized for Child-Adult        List Price: $8.00
Kimono Robe & Pajamas Pattern 
        Sized for Teen-Adult        List Price: $12.00
These are not just any patterns! 

The Apron for Artists and Chefs pattern was designed to help a beginner learn to sew successfully. For example, the side edges are on the straight of grain, not bias. The guide was written by teachers and tested by students over a two-year period. Make a toddler apron to match an adult's - all sizes are included in the one pattern! The Unisex Kimono Robe & Pajamas pattern is also designed for beginners, but best used as a second project.  

The aprons, pajamas and robe may be made with quilting cottons, poly/cotton blends and cotton flannels -- all fabrics easily available.

Teachers of the Palmer/Pletsch System of Teaching Beginners 
use the Apron for Artists and Chefs pattern in their Level I classes, along with samples of simple techniques. The Unisex Kimono Robe & Pajamas pattern is used in Level II and III classes. 

If you are interested in teaching beginning sewing and would like more information about our Teacher Training program, visit our Workshop & Teacher Training web pages.
