My Project

My fully integrated group of students arrive in our classroom with a wide range of sewing skills; some are new to the craft, while others have previously worked on the fundamentals. Teaching the fundamentals is a valuable life skill, but providing options for fun creative on-your-own projects is simply fantastic for a young middle school student. The sewing classroom experience is exciting, and it can be enhanced by introducing incredible new fabrics, tools, and books. Allowing children to use their imaginations in a safe learning environment boosts both their creative side and their social confidence among peers.

The plan is to let the creative juices flow and find other classrooms to donate some of our completed sewing projects.
