Many students don't know how to sew even a button on or mend things
that aren't really big enough to take to a tailor, so this program
will teach the residents how to sew a button on, mend a hem, put on a
patch and offer handouts so they can practice later.
Instructions/Things Needed:
one needle for each participant
thread
a button for each resident.
remnants of material
a patch for each resident
handouts on basics of sewing
Free food for after the lessons
Other Considerations:
If you don't sew yourself, find someone who does. Also, this
program is best for a small group because the instructor should go
around to check on how they are doing individually and offer
suggestions.
