Bodies in movement -2nd grade

4th Grade students cut their patterns

We used measuring tape to measure our waist 1/2 circumference. We also made choice on how long to make our vests.

We used sharpies to trace our pattern onto fabric. By the way.....we need fabric for 25 more kids...have any we could use. Drop them by the art room....thanks!

Ready to be cut!!

Need any type of fabric for colonial vests

Do you have any extra fabric hanging around you don't need. I need cloth for a project we are doing in 4th grade. Kids are making colonial vests. Any cloth will do.....old towels, old sheets (any print), pillow cases, large t-shits, old curtains. Anything we can cut down into smaller pieces and sew together into a vest.....Thanks in advance for all your support!

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.
