3rd Grade | Finishes Sewing Stockings!




Be on the lookout for stockings headed your way!  We have been working on the beginning steps of using fibers (yarn) and needles (tape wrapped around the end of their yarn) for sewing in preparation for weaving.  We practiced using a "mattress stitch" to sew our stockings together.  Some still need to finish off the end of their stitching but I wanted them to have the stockings home in time for Christmas so I sent them home to be finished with mom and dad!  Ask them the proper way to make a "mattress stitch"!   See below, the stitch wraps around the outer edge.
