Year Four have been honing our sewing skills this week. We have designed money containers for different end-users and begun to manufacture them.
We have learned how to join fabric using running and back-stitch, how to hide the joins with hems and how to add decoration with cross stitch. We are enjoying using the needle and thread. The hardest parts are threading the needle and making the starting and finishing stitch. The best bit is when we have finished the joining stitches and turn the purse inside out for the first time.
