The second Kids Summer Project showed me again just how quickly children pick up new things. Some kids have worked with a sewing machine and to watch them confidently position their fabric and figure out what the different parts of the machine does really is rewarding. By introducing kids to a sewing machine at a young age, those ranging from 7 to 9 have the ability to know how to set up the machine and sew a basic straight stitch all on their own.
Library bags have got to be one of the most versatile bags kids can learn to make. Here are photo's of just some of the finished ones. Not only did they make the bag, they also learnt how to create a drawstring to go through the top and then had enough material left over to put together a smaller bag. When I asked them what they would use the small bag for the response was "small library books of course!"
