Our American Girl club met today to learn how to do some simple sewing. Only two of the dozen or so students who came had ever sewn on a button or done any sewing at all. It was a learning experience to be sure!
I taught them how to sew a button onto a piece of felt, tie knots at the end of thread, and how to do a simple running stitch. Luckily, Mrs. Tinney was there to help us all out!
The kids were so happy with their results and wanted to know if they could take needles and thread and extra fabric home to make another pillow or sachet.
We can't wait until next month to have our American Girl Tea Party!
We discussed the American Girls in the books they have read that had to sew their own clothes. They all agreed that it was so much easier to buy clothes at the store rather than to make them!
