Week 3 -Activ8 Summer Camp

"Sew-For-Myself Camp"

was a huge success!!





The kids did everything. They started by taking measurements,  figuring out their size pattern,







Figured out how much material to use, and how to layout their patterns.  Then they cut out the pattern themselves.


They did all the sewing to make adorable polka dot robes.


Here are the girls modeling their final product...their robes!!

...then they got goofy!!!
