Sewing

Sewing is a fantastic way for young children to develop their fine motor capabilities. 

As a class, we assembled a simple sewing table using wood, burlap, hammers and nails. 

                                                        We started with a wooden frame

                                             Over this, we stretched a piece of burlap fabric

 We attached the burlap as the top of our table using a hammer and nails. We were very careful not to hit our fingers and measured to space the nails evenly to hold the burlap in place.

We are learning how to create a simple back stitch using tapestry needles and embroidery floss.
