shopping bag tutorial

hi, i'm katie. i make stuff.
i wrote this tutorial for a class
of 25 eleven year olds
who had met the sewing machine
and could sew a straight seam.
as soon as the more able kiddos
had done each step,
they became the experts for the others -
Kids Teaching Kids is definitely my style,
especially with a 1:25 teacher-student ratio ;)
and the best thing? re/upcycling a throw-out.


HANDY HINT:

i am so impressed with the kids' finished bags:

and so are they :)

  1. I still think you should write a book. There is just nothing this cool out there for progressive tech teachers. It's genius! And your kids are awesome.
