[aisle] Sewn Book Character Project

[Michelle Harris]

Our junior high does this with our 1st graders.  The 1st graders have a
story about monsters or shapes...I'm unclear on the details here...and then
the 1st graders DRAW a creature.  That creature is what the junior high
students simplify and sew.  I know that the sewn pieces are just 2 pieces
of felt for front and back, whipstitched, and stuffed with quilting
batting.  It's remarkable how similar the "stuffie" is to the drawing and
the 1st graders are always thrilled.  I could find out what book they are
using as inspiration if you are interested.
