Sew....a needle pulling thread!

The sixth and seventh grade students learned how to sew on a button in class this week. They didn't stop with just a button, though.  Each student selected a pattern design of their choice and used their newly acquired hand-sewing skills to sew a miniature pillow or ornament. The students used felt and embroidery floss to complete their projects. 

The students were very creative in their design choices. They have been using the "back stitch" and blanket stitch" to sew their pillows.  It was great to see how excited they were to complete their projects.

Have a nice weekend!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Judy Bretl
