4th Class completed their sewing project with Trisha Riordan. They made Valentine’s cushions. The children learned many important skills. They can design a pattern, sew on a button and use a sewing machine! Look at the beautiful cushions they made! Thank you Trisha for teaching us how to sew. We really enjoyed the lessons with you.
