Sweater Mittens!


















Students traced their hand to cut out mitten shapes from old, washed sweaters. They also learned practical applications with a needle--how to thread a needle with thread, embroidery floss, and yarn (although some of them still are unsure of where and how to tie the knot)! We practiced sewing on a button, then several types of stitches. The majority of them seemed to have a good time, using extra scraps for sweater purses. Yarn pompom making was also popular!
