Hi all! It's been a while since I've updated my
blog but I wanted to share with you an update of the James 127 Foundation
training programs from 2015. Both the jewelry and
sewing classes have been making a lot of progress these past couple months.
The jewelry class is learning work with metal. They have
made many earrings, bracelets, and rings out of aluminum and brass metal. On
the right is a picture of the trainees curving the handmade aluminum metal
pieces to make a bracelet.
The sewing trainees completed their
basic sewing skills grade III test (their first of three big exams) and
finished learning how to make suit jackets. Next, they will be making suit
pants and skirts. On the picture to the left is the morning sewing class
making their jackets.
Below is a picture of me wearing one of the black jackets
the sewing class made. I loved it and wanted to keep it though they said it is
too big on me. Penina is also pictured hammering on the brass.
