Let's Sew a Dinosaur!

One of the activities for the kids at camp that has become popular lately is sewing. In particular, the hand sewing projects are really great. With just a few scraps of cloth —different colors of course!! —and some imagination, you can make a quilted pillow, a placemat, a purse, or even a cool stuffed animal. Look! It’s a dinosaur!  I think.?

One of the craft cabins at Rockbrook is called “Hobby Nook” and it’s where these sewing activities for kids take place.  It takes a little patience to learn the basic sewing stitches and some time to sew all the parts, but camp has everything you’ll need.  The counselors (like Elise in this photo) will help along the way, and pretty soon you’ll have something neat.  It’s sewing, and it’s really fun!
