We will finish up any projects that are incomplete. If time, we will move on to accessories such as eye masks, scrunchies and bag charms.
If your child already has some sewing experience there are lots of other projects we can do e.g. pyjama top, skirt with a waistband, bag with a zip etc. I assess where I think each child is at, at the start of the week, and will help them pick projects that they will enjoy and will challenge them.
