My eldest daughter and I helped out in my youngest daughter's class teaching them how to use a hand needle and making stuffed Christmas trees. They all had a great time and most of the kids had never used a needle before.all aged between 6 and 8 and quite a range of abilities. After sewing around the edges and stuffing the trees the kids got to decorating them with glitter glue and sequins. A wonderful time was had by all and we are booked in to do in again for the class next Christmas!

Very nice job on the trees. Thank you for sharing. Happy Stitching :~)
Next will be Hearts.

I love how each one is so different

What a lovely set of trees. The gift of your time and teaching will have a lasting effect on these budding sewists. Glad a good time was had by all.

We all had fun, even the helpers who don't sew

What a great project! They were able to decorate their own creations. They will treasure these forever!

Even the children I didn't think would be all that interested made a superb effort

They are so cute. And what a treasure for them to keep.

The trees were sent home with each child near the last day of school so they could decorate their own trees

A great way to introduce kids to sewing, hopefully the may keep trying.

I was asked to keep the project really easy to cater for the skill levels in the class, for some trees we prepunched holes for those that needed them.

Great job all round love Chris
