What do you think of sewing?

Last day at Holmes. Sewing to the finish.

Amazing work by these Holmes students.

The quote of the day, “This is really starting to look like a bag.” Many of the kids are so close to finishing. Yesterday, we finished up the flaps and started sewing the poly webbing in a ‘box with and x in it’ shape to make it very secure. Most students got their reflective stripes ironed on and a few new sewers started making belts with the canvas cloth. This session was full of problem solving, team work, and general fun. It had the feeling of a a full steam ahead project under a deadline and the students are handling it very well. Given that they have testing this week, they are basically all stars.

What can you make at B Visible Workshops? Here are some ideas... #CGNcreates #BikeMonth

Made some buttons today. The red strip is reflective. #BVisibleCov #CGNcreates #bikemonth *Thanks for the idea Annie

First completed project. A belt with a reflective buckle.

Many are getting quite adept at changing bobbins and changing color thread and threading machine needles. I can see confidence growing for working the machines. We wish we had more time each night and a longer session. I hope students can attend the library workshops.
