On January 29th I will be helping at the Historical Museum in Topeka for Kansas Day. I will have Handcrank machines ( Singer 99s) to let the kids sew on. The kids make a simple bookmark of two bits of cloth that they sew together. 1,400 kids may come through in 7 hours. ( whew).It is really fun and the kids love it. This year schedules don't work for previous helpers. I could use one or two people for the day. or maybe a half day. If you have an interest please pm me.

Thanks for reading this.

Oh i wish i was near you. good luck!!

That sounds tiring but so much fun. Love working with children and watching their eyes light up as they accomplish a new skill.

Sounds like the "Maker Faire" in St. Paul, MN. Lots of people brings in projects for children to work on. My son brings in a penny punch. It makes a penny look like a gear. They try to do it with the short handle and even the strongest man can't do it. He adds a stick about two feet long to the handle and then the smallest kid can do it.

I love maker faires. No surprise there. Not enough folks at Ks day are hands on.
