Summer Sewing Camp

What an amazing term it has been, I have seen three of four of my initial students get A+'s for their textile work and have received a real boost in knowing that I helped them get there. The work they produced under the expertise of the wonderful teachers at the Langley Park school for girls is truly inspiring to see. I must say that that really made me see first hand what a difference being a part of the club has made to them and indeed to all the students who are involved.
I was thinking of the summer program for a while now, more than a year in fact and I have been dreaming (in colour) of the colors and projects. I enlisted the help of a couple of other teachers, one a wonderful inspirational person who has years of teaching and crafting experience and another who does amazing things with cross stitch (happens to be my mother in law and is conveniently visiting)...After much planning it is now done. I have learned loads about what to do for next year and of course what not to do! A massive thank you to the teachers who helped me do this and the students who signed up, came and really did an amazing job...
