I am very excited about my new after school club this year - the Needle & Thread Club! We have 24 members from grades 3-5 (and a long waiting list too) and we have just completed our first project, string art. This lesson was so much fun and quite a challenge, too - thanks so much to Cassie Stephens for the great step-by-step instructions on her blog - find it here:

My kids were very inspired by the work her students created.
We have many exciting sewing, weaving, embroidery and other fun fiber arts activities in store for this year - we are focusing on traditional hands-on methods with a modern spin. This is not your granny's sewing club! :)
Oh, these look awesome, Hope!! I know your kids had a blast :) Thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome. Love that rainbow background.
ReplyDeleteSpray paint to the rescue for that background - fastest way to jazz it up
DeleteNeedle and Thread Club. Love that idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that name would sound more enticing to both genders than sewing club? :)
DeleteLook at all that space you have in your art room. I'm green!
