Sewing at school

We started a new Family & Community Learning project at school:  We have decided to make patchwork quilts for the SCBU unit (Special Care Baby Unit) at Wexham Park hospital, and Story Sacks for our own Foundation Class.

M,O and M have chosen a story about spiders

N,O and N have chosen The Lion King - some great drawings here, N and N

We have used the rotary cutter to cut bags and looked at how to stitch them with, or without a sewing machine

G (with mum, C) has chosen a Princess book, and E has chosen a book about Aliens and Underpants - some great sewing ideas there!

 Each group has looked at its book and taken key words and pictures to decide what they want to make to go into the story sack.

L, A and S have decided to make a quilt
