5th Grade Sewing

Fifth graders have learned a basic stitching pattern in order to create these awesome stuffed monsters/characters/pillows. They learned how to thread a needle, sew, and the entire process of creating a sewing. They started with a basic shape for a monster or pillow and cut two identical pieces from felt. They threaded and knotted their needles and sewed in and out around the outline of the felt pieces. Next they stuffed their sewing, sewed the rest, and applied details from felt and googly eyes, attaching with hot glue. They sure made some colorful characters!
