Cassie Stephens: Sewing Basics!

Cassie Stephens: Sewing Basics!

My fourth graders are having completely ready for a new sewing experience! Final year, they stitched these pizza pillows. Next up, we are dying our personal cloth and generating a sort of faux-Shibori dyed pillow (see under). 

I like teaching sewing (and all points fibers) to my students. If you are intrigued but do not know in which to start off, I share all of my suggestions and tips in my e-book Sew and String Lab for Little ones

I will be sharing my favored fibers jobs in an upcoming publish but if you just cannot wait, you can hop above to my YouTube channel and go to my “Fibers” playlist! Be guaranteed and subscribe, I’m at the moment incorporating a lot of video clip material!

I made the decision to create a video to walk my pupils by sewing basic principles. I performed it right now on our initial working day of stitching and it was a strike! I didn’t have to thread a solitary needle and only tied a single knot. If you would like to watch it, in this article you go:

Feel cost-free to use it in your artwork teacherin’ entire world!

There are a whole lot of factors I have uncovered about teaching little ones to sew in excess of the a long time. Several of my strategies you will see in the movie. Even so, I program to share a lot extra in impending Art Teacherin’ 101 video clips. 

Just a preview: fourth graders opened their dyed cloth, pinned it and commenced stitching in 30 minutes! When they are interested, it’s incredible how quick they can perform. 

This is wherever we’re heading. Once again, this is a project from my book and generally a hit. Happy stitching!
