So You Want to Sew! by Mrs. Sandy Hegeman
Every afternoon I wait with anticipation as the students trickle into the classroom for the afternoon elective, Pins and Needles. It is an exclusive "ladies" only class. There are no sighs and groans about the activities. The girls eagerly pick up their stitching for the day and master another stitch. After a few weeks of manual labor, we move on to the power machines. The foot pedal, similar to a gas pedal, determines the speed of the machine.
