I decided to stop by Sue’s Saturday Sewing class this weekend to check out the Christmas tree centerpieces the kids were making. Let me tell you, these Christmas trees were awesome! Sue Simoncini has the amazing ability of conveying precise instruction to kids because all of these Christmas trees looked like something you could buy in a boutique store. I think it’s great that these children have become so talented with their sewing.
I asked the kids what they were planning on doing with their Christmas trees when they get home. Some kids said that they were going to give the Christmas trees as gifts to their parents and some said they wanted to keep it as a Christmas decoration in their rooms. They also had some spare time to make adorable stuffed elf dolls, gingerbread men and other interesting crafts of their choice. I love the idea of being able to create your own household decorations or gifts. Do-it-yourself projects are so much fun and can save you a ton of money, especially during the holiday season. Now that these kids have the know-how on the sewing machine they can use their creativity to create whatever they like. These are definitely skills that can be very useful in the years to come.
Don’t worry if your kids missed out on this class because there are more to come. Our next Saturday Sewing class will be Saturday Sewing for Kids: Valentine’s Day Fun (Ages 8-14). In this class your kids will make special Valentine’s Day gifts. For more information and class registration visit, www.ColumbusState.edu/CE or call 706.507.8070.
