Chicken sewing club....

Now do you remember me telling you about the Sewing club I run at school?

I get lots of ideas of what to do with the girls but is is hard to find things that are basic enough, and will only take a couple of hours to complete, using the basic skills that I have shown them already.

So if you know of anything you can suggest.

Have a pattern that you can forward.

Or just any words of encouragement,

then fire away.

I will be very grateful.

Even if this bunch of great Year 6's will be leaving me

in July, I shall continue to run the club as the present Year 5's

 are quite jealous that they can't join in. 

I had to be strict and restrict the numbers.

There are only so many needles I can re-thread in an 1 HOUR!!!

This weeks new project is one of these...

Only we are using much brighter fabric and

will give her a more fancy 'comb' on her head.

This was easy as there are only 3 pieces to it, and

I want them to take more care when cutting out and pinning together,

this project I thought would enable us to do that.

Plus, I couldn't resist it being a chicken and a bit of an Easter theme.

So, if you Big Girls would like to help my Smaller Girls

(actually, some of them are taller than me but thats not hard hee hee!)

we would love to hear your ideas.

I did think of chopping a pair of jeans off and turning it into a skirt,

but they need to polish those skills first!

And thread their own bloomin' needle aarrggghhhh.

Bless them. x
