Colonial Vests.....The beginning. (4th)

4th Graders are getting their feet wet in the world of sewing. We are designing Colonial vests. If you have any cloth materials sitting around you'd like to donate please drop them off in the classroom. Old sheets, towels, pillow covers and large t-shirts will also be used for this. Also, if you are a parent who knows how to sew we'd love your help. Simply e-mail me or go to the volunteer site to sign on for a class time.

Children measure half their waist length, then added 1 inch on either side. Then, they decided how long they wanted their vest to be and included that in their design.

some children chose to design their vests with buttons.
