Yum Yum Cinnamon!

Our 6th and 7th grade foods' labs were quite successful this week. The 6th grade
students made Cini Minis and the 7th grade students made Cinnamon
Pull-Apart Rolls. The hallways were filled with their sweet aroma.
MMMM MMMM! The students put forth great effort in planning the lab and
following directions. The Cini Minis and the Cinnamon Pull-Apart Rolls
turned out great! I hope the students will share the recipe with you.

Have a good weekend!

Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Bretl

Hand sewing a button

1. Cut thread 30 to 40 inches long. Hold spool of thread at your nose and pull thread out to the length of your arm.
2. Thread the needle:
Hold the cut thread about 3/4 inch from the end with the fingers of the other hand, and push the thread through the eye of the needle until about 1/2 inch extends beyond the eye.
3. Double the thread so that the two cut edges are even.
4. Wrap, roll and pull thread into a knot.
5. From the wrong side of the fabric, insert the needle and come through to the right side of the fabric. Go up through one hole of the button and down through the other.
6. Slip a toothpick between the thread and the button to form a shank
7. Take 4 to 5 stitches through each set of holes.
8. Remove the toothpick and come up under the button with the needle.
9. Wrap the thread around the base of the button 3 times to secure the shank (spacer) you have created.
10. Bring the needle to the underside of the fabric. Take a small stitch and bring the needle through the loop to secure a knot.
