My students love sewing. I have made a small instructional book for basic stitches which seems to help me get to help to more students and made it so that they can take it home to practice. I will post that soon, along with patterns for this and past posts. I can't wait to share all we do in class.
Oh, this semester after doing this project, a student knocked on my door. When I opened it, I noticed her holding a large torn cushion and said that her reading teacher's pillow broke. I almost knew I was about to be given something else to do, but instead she asked for thread so that she could use the "overcast stitch so to fix it." Ahhhhhh!!! I couldn't ask for more than to see students using the life skills that they can better their environment.
Every year I make a different sample doll as I am showing them the process of making our own patterns.
