Learning to sew

These are my pictures that i took of people learning to sew. They were sewing their capes. First they had to find their favourite coloured material. then they had to pin the edges. they had had to sew the edges of the cape on the sewing machine. it is called a seam. you have to thread the machine then you have to put the material under the foot. you hold the material with one hand to keep it in place and with the other hand you have to make sure it is flat and straight. you have to put your foot on the pedal. it controls how fast it goes. so you need to press it a bit at a time. Naomi helped us to make sure we stepped on the pedal carefully and didnt sew our fingers. We designed a logo to go on the cape. we cut it from material and sewed it on by hand.  It was tricky sewing it on. We had to tie knots and thread the needles. i learned how to take good pictures and how to use a sewing machine. it was amazing
