It's been a little quiet around here on the sewing front.. .it seems to happen when you uproot your life and move to the other side of the globe (literally!). In fact, most of our sewing supplies are on a ship somewhere around the equator as I write - it's final destination is a long way still! So today it was nice to be asked into my Little Person's new school to help the five and six year olds make fabric collage scarecrows for the local country show.
The kids had fun sorting through a great big box of fabric scraps and creating some colourful scarecrows. They traced cardboard templates/patterns then glued their creations to paper. The end results were lots of fun. This would be an easy project to do at home - it is a good project to practice tracing around patterns, cutting, and appreciating colour, all the while using up fabric scraps that haven't quite made it into any other projects.
