Sewing Class!

Whilst reading our class novel, "Ella Enchanted", I was surprised to discover that only two out of the 16 students in the class had ever tried their hand at sewing before. As the novel is set in Medieval Times, with some emphasis on Medieval tapestries, magical rugs, as well as Ella having to learn embroidery, I thought I should get the students learning how to sew!
I was soooooo impressed with their first efforts! We didn't use material, or needles, but I hole-punched hundreds of holes in paper, gave them a choice of coloured yarns, showed them how to 'thread' a paperclip and then set them off designing their own creation!
I think Da Sol's palm tree, Michelle's Glass Slipper and Jaya's steam boat deserve an honourable mention - they are particularly good for first timers!
