Next week I get to teach spinning, which I am feeling more cheerful about.  All of my K-5 kids managed to make a felted rope, ball and purse last week, so as long as we use the &#8216;park&#8217; method of drop spinning which doesn&#8217;t require spinning a top and drafting wool at the same time I think we will make it through.  Although I need to work running around in circles into my lesson plan for the younger boys.  I&#8217;m thinking braiding rope hung from the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/DSC_5324.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/DSC_5324-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Sewing\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1843\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/DSC_5324-400x265.jpg 400w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/DSC_5324.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several people have asked me when is the &#8216;right&#8217; time to start sewing with your kids?  I think around 1.5 they are old enough to start sticking a large embroidery needle through hooped fabric.  Supervised of course.  Penelope thinks it&#8217;s fun to sew like mama for about five minutes.  One of my friends was shocked, and thought they might hurt themselves, but really, a needle prick is hardly traumatic compared to a skinned knee, and it doesn&#8217;t take them long to figure out that it is sharp.  Plastic canvas is another way to start, or a square of thick felt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes I have been eaten by my textiles class. 4 more weeks of brand new lesson plan drafting, prop &#038; materials acquisition, teaching and learning, and things might get back to normal.
