What a great group of girls! We had a blast stitching up a sleeping bag and costume for our elves as well as a ribbon for our Grinch ornament.
I had three girls who had never used a sewing machine before. So…we started off getting acclimated with our machines. Once they felt comfortable with the different parts of the machine we “warmed up” using a note card. We practiced following the lines and getting a feel for the machine.
Part of our warm up included learning how to pivot. We would have to use this skill when making our sleeping bags and pillows, so we practiced that on our notecards too!
Once we became experts in pivoting we hit the ground running with our projects. We started off with the sleeping bag and pillow for our elves.
The next project we tackled was the ribbon for our ornaments. We stitched down the sides, turned it right side out, ironed and finished it off by folding in the raw edges at the end of each side and closing them up. It was quick and easy and made our ornaments look extra fancy. We filled our ornaments with crinkle paper and cut a heart out of red felt to put inside as well. I put each girls name and the date on the back. I love pulling out old ornaments that my kids have made, and looking to see when they made it!
Before our last project we took a break and ate some snacks. We had stitched up quite an appetite!
Lastly, we created a Grinch Tree costume for our elves.
We ended the class with a snowball fight in the front yard!
Cheers to the beginning of a wonderful holiday season and a great group of girls! Well done girls!
