Here are Nonie and Rebecca with their first two projects. By the end of the day on Tuesday they had earned their sewing machine 'Driver's License', made a sewing bag and a belt to wear. Rebecca had done a little sewing before while Nonie had never even tried sewing with a machine. It is amazing how quickly young children pick up the skill.
By the end of the fourth and last day of camp Nonie had finished making herself a pair of shorts and Rebecca had made herself a skirt. They both also got about halfway through making themselves a blouse.
Rebecca was so proud of her skirt that she wore it for the rest of class and then proudly showed it off to grandma when she picked her up. I just love seeing the smiles on the girls faces when they are able to wear something that they made.
Next week is Purse-onality Fun 4 Camp. Nikki and Mia will be joining me next week to make three fun purses. You can check out my fall schedule on my website, www.sewmuchfun.biz. I am looking forward to helping more children learn the art of sewing.
