The school’s new sewing club launched last week and fifth and sixth grade members were excited to learn sewing skills that transcend age and gender.  

Before being allowed to use a sewing machine, the students learned essential foundational skills such as tracing patterns onto fabric, cutting with precision, threading needles and trying their hands at basic stitching. When they finally sat down at the sewing machines, the students discovered that control was more important than speed and a gentle foot on the pedal made all the difference.  

The students’ first creations were soft, fluffy pillows. With each project, these young creators stitched together confidence, creativity and a new appreciation for the art of making something by hand.
