new job this fall

May 18th, 2005 at 08:18 pm

Got hired by the local city to teach a class this fall at the park and rec community building. It will be 1 night a week, for a couple of weeks--beginning sewing (hand sewing) for children. I am still working on the project list, but am trying to get 5 simple sewing projects. I am planning on using felt when possible, so we wont have to worry about fabric unraveling. So far I have: #1 pillow or pin cushion, #2 hand puppet (will use button eyes, to teach how to sew on buttons, #3 bandana shirts-take 2 bandanas, sew them together and the sholders and sides to make shirt--BUT I need an alternate idea for "heavy" girls or boys. Still need 2 more good ideas that would take about an hour each. This will be in the fall, before Christmas so that what they make can be used for gifts if they want. Thinking of possibly a 2 peice stuffed animal, but am trying to limit stuffing if I can, as it is messy. Any simple ideas would be welcomed. These will probably be children in the 7-10 age range. For pay, I get a percentage of the class tution, and free use of the pool and all for my family.

    Maybe some sort of bag that they could make? It could have handles, or a tie....
