We have officially completed our pajama class and once again I am beaming with pride over these kids. This was a difficult project for their skill level and I really pushed them. I am determined that each child leaves with a finished project. You may say, “Well, yeah. Isn’t that the point of class?” Yes, but each child works and processes things at different rates and to tell the truth I thought I might need to schedule an extra “make-up” class for this one. The sense of completeness and pride that they feel encourages them in future projects and builds their confidence. So often would-be sewers get frustrated from the language of patterns, choosing incorrect materials for the patterns, and often with sewing machines themselves. Several children have brought their sewing machines to class and I tried to work on them, but it got to the point where I simply gave up because the machine was taking away from my teaching time. You have to set yourself up for success and that’s what I want to do for these kids.
So without further ado, here are the final garments!
Esther, 3rd Grade
Jordan, 3rd Grade
Kayleigh, Grade 5
Madison, Grade 5
Aubrey, Grade 5
Cherish, Grade 5
Rosemary, Grade 5
I would definitely say that my first pajama class was a success! Now on to the pajama party!
Love,
Rachel
