Children’s Sew Day
Contact person: Jeannine James
Teach a child to sew and spark a lifetime of creativity!
On one Saturday of the Red River Revel Arts Festival we provide children of all ages an opportunity to learn quiltmaking in the Revel’s Children’s Area. Youngsters are invited to draw pictures on muslin squares, arrange squares on a design wall and even sew the squares into a quilt top. They can also sew a simple tote bag on the sewing machine.
This activity is free for the kids. Those who complete all the steps are entered in a drawing to win a sewing machine of their very own!
Sewing machines and supplies are provided by several local businesses. Teaching kids to use sewing machines means adult supervision so the more volunteers the better for this activity. If you enjoy working with children you will have a good time.
Any questions? Contact Jeannine James. There’s always room for volunteers to help nurture the creativity!
Note: If you come in contact with those who work with groups of children (i.e. Girl Scout troops, neighbors, 4-H clubs, church youth groups, grandparents, parents, etc.) a written review and CD with examples of this activity are available for passing on. This is a great field trip for kids’ groups.
