Wonderful teaching on the sly project, many kids will never know anything about sewing and creativity unless someone like yourself opens the door to them. Special - needs or not, you never know where the first inspiration is created.

Today I took in my featherweight and did a little piecing demonstration. They really enjoyed seeing their square get sewn into the top. We still have a couple of days of school after Memorial Day, so I'll hang it up for our little classroom "promotion" ceremony. FUN day!!
