Project: Self Portrait Pillows - Sewing with Young Children

Project Description: Learn to sew while making a self-portrait pillow! In the first session they'll examine portraits of diverse people and discuss their unique characteristics. They'll practice using adjectives to describe what different people look like so they can describe themselves. Then the children will choose fabric that matches their skin color, cut out 2 oval shapes of cloth, and learn how to pin the pieces of cloth together. Children examine their faces in the mirror so they can cut out eyes, nose, mouth, hair and other features, and glue them onto the oval shape.
In the second session they learn how to sew using the overcast stitch. They'll stitch all around the oval, leaving an opening for stuffing. They will stuff their ovals with polyfill and sew closed the opening to finish the pillow.
