Bookmarks & Embellished Hearts
Hope everyone had a wonderful and happy Valentine’s Day! This week we will be continuing to stitch projects with a Valentine theme. Let’s talk about the projects…
By now my younger kids are getting the knack of basic stitches. We will be finishing our bracelets and starting some bookmarks. Short simple projects give them able time to practice basic hand sewing skills. I encourage the younger kids to take their time and keep on trying to master basic hand sewing skills. Easily frustrated at times, they need to understand that sewing is a learned skill that takes time to master. It’s not how many projects they finish but do they understand what they are doing? Beginning something is always a challenge.
My older kids will be working on embellishment skills as they complete their Embellished Heart. We are starting to learn embellishment techniques that the kids can use to personalize all their projects. We’ll practice the techniques on a doodle cloth (a piece of felt) and then the kids will design a heart for a special person on Valentine’s Day.
Until next time,
Ms. Bobbi
