onstruction differences between woven and knit fabrics, embellishment, waiting one's turn for help, and the fact that Miss Sarah does not, in fact have the instructions to every pattern ever printed in her head,and that one should read the instruction sheet and try to understand before giving up and whining. I'll admit: this last was hard-learned. I am exhausted!!!!The girls each made a knit T-shirt, and coordinating sleep pants. A couple of the girls finished their basic project early, and made tote bags, which I embroidered with their names. Here is a picture of the motley crew at week's end.
After a hard, but fun week of learning the language of sewing, we then had cake!!!! Now, back to projects at home for myself.
Maybe. First: a nap.
They are so cute!! The one with the skull theme did an awesome job on her shirt - what a cool decal!
ReplyDeleteThat shirt was purchased.
ReplyDeleteOnly her pants were constructed in class.
What lucky young girls to have someone like you teaching them this invaluable skill that some of them will continue to use the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteWhat a big project! Congrats on finishing!
ReplyDeleteThey will probably always remember it.
Having taught FACS in middle school for many years, I know what an undertaking this is. Blessings to anyone who passes on the tradition of needle arts, whether by hand or by machine. But when you get past all the whining, it is so FANTASTIC to see them feel good about making something themselves.
