Mrs. Bird’s Super Sewing Class

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

Looking for a fun elective that you can learn a lot from too?  Take Mrs. Bird’s sewing class!  She teaches you how to sew many different types of things like pajama pants, duffle bags, pillowcases, aprons, a mystery project, etc.  Every day in her class students learn more and more. 

Mrs. Bird, the sewing teacher, said, “I like teaching students to do something that helps them to be creative.  Sewing is a stress reliever, and it is a skill that will help you with your future career if you’re looking into fashion or interior design.”  Mrs. Bird also said, “You don’t have to have experience with sewing to take the class.  I start from the beginning.  I teach the basics and we learn more from there.”   This class is for boys and girls. Even though it may seem like it is a class for girls, boys have enjoyed this class too.  Clint Mickelson, an eighth grader, said, “I took this class because I thought it would be interesting to learn how to sew, and it is!”  

This class is really fun for students to have a chance to learn from each other. According to Katie Jackson, an eighth grade girl, she loves how students get to sew together and help each other with their projects.  She loves to be able to talk to her friends and have them help her.  Breanna Eves, an eighth grader, said, “Sewing is a good opportunity to learn how to sew for future families or to fix your own clothes and not have to buy new ones!”  

The students love Mrs. Bird. Katie Jackson said, “Mrs. Bird is outgoing and fun. It makes the class more fun and interesting!”  

Sewing is a good class to take if you have any desire to learn how to be a designer, or to even fix your kids’ clothes one day!  Ask any kid in the sewing class this year, they will recommend it!
