Fifth Graders at the Sewing Machine


In the past two days, more than 22 pillows have been sewn in the art room. Fifth graders began a couple weeks ago, making drawings on fabric. We cut strips of printed fabrics to frame the drawings.
Yesterday Marty Kirk, grandma of Tory, a fifth grader, brought her sewing machine to the art room. With her patient help, we taught all of the fifth graders how to do a straight stitch on the sewing machine.
Macayla and Lexie finished the last two pillows this morning.
Happy dreams, Fifth Grade Seamsters!
