Sew Creative!

Our designers and sewers continue to be very busy as they create the latest fashions 
and make things for their homes.
 
It takes concentration to work out the details of creating with fabric.
 
Nancie inspired us all! She modeled the apron/skirt she sewed all by herself!
Leah continued to choose fabric after fabric, laying out her quilt/skirt and placing each new piece very carefully. She sewed along the edges, making sure the right sides were together, then opening the seam after she finished each one.
Isaac decided to make a pillow. Then everyone decided to make a pillow!
 
The fashion industry is just waiting for our kindergarten friends to hit the scene!
 
Another 'Creation by Nancie'. Her purse will be a wonderful accessory to the skirt.
Morgan just loved the purse she made! She worked for a long time to make sure she sewed the stitches close together and along the edges. She carefully chose the strap that her purse would have. All the teachers want one just like it!
 
So much to sew...
So little time!

Wikki Stix Designs

Wikki Stix...why are they so popular in the wonderful world of kindergarten?

They can tell us how someone feels.
 
They can be shared and collaborated with.
They can be made into just about anything!
 
They can be twirled and swirled and grow into trees.
They can become a story board.
They can stand up and become a sculpture.
They can be trees and rainbows and wonderful things.
They can become a tunnel, an insect home, a cave...
They can show us inside, outside, over, under, beneath and through.
They can be incorporated with clay and other materials.
That's why Wikki Stix are so popular in the wonderful world of kindergarten!
