My Project

The Seniors in my theatre class have co designed the curriculum with me this year and have placed a focus on learning design and construction skills. With your support I would love to bring them some new materials and tools to foster this exciting experience.

Learning to sew is a lost art in schools and I'm excited to share this skill that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

This project will focus on both hand and machine sewing. My students will create pin cushions and tote bags which will serve as keepsakes of our time.
