Tonight we got to learn a sewing technique by using poster board and yarn! Our leader had holes punched in the poster board and we took the yarn and "sewed" around the edges! Once we got the hand of using this technique, we moved on to learning to sew with a real needle and thread!
The project we have started on is to sew a miniature "bean bag". We are taking two squares of fabric and sewing around three sides and part of the fourth side. Once we have done this, we will then turn our square "right side out" and pour some beans inside! After this step, we move on to the final step of sewing our bags completely shut!! We were not able to finish this project during this meeting, so we will continue to work on them at the next meeting.
Sorry for not posting pictures of this! This was a very "hands on" project, even for the leader and the helpers! But we will be sure to post pictures from the upcoming meetings of the girls working on them and the finished product!!
One last reminder... there will be NO MEETING on Thursday, March 19th due to the Washington Elementary Art and Science Fair!! (Reminders will be sent by email and text as the date draws closer.) Please support our fellow classmates by attending! This event will showcase the many talents of our own Washington school students!! This event will be held at the school from 6:30pm - 8:00pm, with refreshments being served after viewing the student projects! Enjoy!!
