SAFETY FIRST
As always start a new project reviewing any safety items. This project has very small sharp needles and scissors so adult supervision will be necessary. Talk about keeping track of the needles and not letting a dropped one stay on the ground or “lost”.
Consider making a packet for each kid with the required materials to save time at the meeting.
This activity could support the Sewing badge #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Consider finding a sewing room or craft store that has a sewing program to take the kids to as an outing.
Build on your skills by continuing to sew more complex patterns
Visit a fabric store because…well, because they are just fun.
