Taking care of others...

You may recall that after reading the story of Latkes, Latkes, Good to Eat we asked your children what WE could do to take care of those who were cold and had no money. One of the things they decided they could do was make pillows. First we had a design team, who carefully drew their designs or draft on a piece of paper. When they were satisfied with their creation, they proceeded to transfer their art work to the felt material. The designers were then ready to sew their pillows. This took focus and following certain steps. There were safety guidelines to remember, the pressure one put on the peddle with one's foot determined the speed in which the machine sewed the material together. It took some practice to get just the right speed. The material design was turned inside out, then they had to turn the materials inside out. This took a bit of time and patience. Then came the filling of the pillow with 'fluff'. It was a great deal of work, but with team work we finished. They were so proud of their accomplishments. NOW the NEXT step is to decide who will be the beneficiaries of these creations. Stay tuned...
