Mit Webband, Gurtband, Stylefix und Schlüsselbandenden entsteht so euer individueller Schlüsselbegleiter.

 Karlas Chaosecke has pictures of the great results of a sewing class.

beautiful cell covers and keychains with colourful ribbons.

Sewing even in large classes can be so much fun!

This is a letter the teacher in charge of a 3rd grade in Essen wrote to us!

Dear Farbenmix-Team,

Last week we had a project week themed ‘art’. The third grade chose sewing as their project. My colleague and I are sewing a lot and the children really liked what they were doing.

Look at the outcome: Every child made an elephant with your cute epattern. We had 10 sewing machines and quite a few ‘grown-up’ helping hands. As you can see in the pictures the children are very proud. Every child was photographed with their own elephant as you can see on our homepage. Maybe you can present this on your ‘Inspirationen’ page?

We also made more than 150 keychains. One third were given for Mothers Day, over 100 were sold on the presentation day. They even got orders for more keychains. We also made nice postcards with fabric.

No doubt your inspirations are suitable for primary schools even with big class sizes. “Farbenmix goes primary school” is working!
I sincerely hope you like our results and we can’t wait for more ideas for our next art project week!

Sunny greeting from NRW

Beautiful keychains with ribbons   by Gretelies .

Stylefix helps sewing in zippers, just look at Hamburger Liebe.

This stylish key hanger only needs two seams:

- cut a stripe of tight iron-on lining, f.e.  30 cms long, 3 cms wide

- iron on the lining on a piece of fabric

- wrap the fabric around the lining on all 4 sides and fix it with STYLEFIX

- cut the fabric in a way that the long sides will meet in the middle

-glue a ribbon using STYLEFIX over the seam and stick the ribbon end between the two fabric layers

- sew on the ribbon

- fold the ribbon and punch a hole in both ends

- clip or sew on a button and embellish with beads or ribbons

- Karabiner mit Schlüsselring befestigen
