The learners are still young and varied that come to the sessions, no real regulars yet! Next week I will take names to pin the regulars down. Ice breakers help to keep them in the room and not shy away. Taking names puts them off as I don’t have the parents in the room to hold them to account. I don’t really get the names down yet. Watching the demo on cutting out was too long for some of them as they walked away but their group focus is getting better as they get to know each other.
I cut out a waistcoat with lining in the class so they could see and ask questions. I am working towards a fashion out come. Getting the kids to wear something hand made. A creative alternative to mass produced fashion they know how. Making a T shirts can be a bonding experience as you are conscious of what you choose to wear as it is part of your outlook.
