| Lars and his sewing bag |
I just finished a three day camp with two boys, brothers 10 and 13. It was interesting to have only boys in a camp. They quickly learned the basics of the sewing machine and earned their Sewing Machine Driver's License.

The first day they got their sewing bags cut and did the first set of stitches all around and were ready to start sewing the channels. On day two they finished their sewing bags and we started on their shorts. They both wanted longer shorts so after they pinned on their pattern pieces, I drew a line for their new cutting length.

For Sage's shorts, I had to draft a larger pattern than the ones I had. He learned about grading to make a pattern larger. As a testimony to recycling they chose to use old top sheets for their shorts. We had to get a little creative finding a way to line up the straight of grain line.

With just a little help from me with the last of the pinning, they were able to finish their shorts. I learned a bit more boy humor and hopefully they learned a love of creating and sewing.
