Sewing skills at Wharenui

Paula Duncan - Provision Lead Teacher —

Students hand stitching, machine sewing and overlocking to create aprons and sock puppets.

The intermediate and senior students have been learning to sew with Margaret Logan. Margaret visits us each week to teach the children the techniques and skills required to make sock puppets and aprons. The students will use the aprons next term during their cooking module. The pictures show teacher Kerri Narbey explaining the different types of stitches to the students, students gathering small parts to design aprons, and students working with Maree and Janet to create the sock puppets.
