Home Schooling - Sewing Lessons

 Part of our home schooling journey is following interests that the children have.  During a second hand shopping bargain finding afternoon, my daughter found a length of material that she liked.  She imagined it as a wonderful beach bag.  As I am not a sewer, we enlisted the talents of a friend and we all went to sewing lessons once a week for a term.  The children made different items using recycled material.  My son made pillow cases from an old sheet.  I made a tote bag from an old skirt and my daughter made her beach bag.  We all learnt new skills and refashioned material so it could have a second life.
