Basic Sewing 8

(Required, grade 8; 2 periods/week, 1 semester)

Students in 8th grade sewing learn a variety of practical skills using both hand and machine methods. They are required to complete two projects, a patchwork pillow, which they design and machine stitch, using fabric of their choice. The second project, chosen from a broad range of commercial kits, incorporates curved lines and difficult steps. The class atmosphere is relaxed and noncompetitive and students are free to interact with their peers while they work.
