Grace and I took a 100% wool sweater, felted it, and turned it into a cowl neck scarf and mittens. She won first place for her age group....even though the mittens weren't the same size. (we're working on following a guide for seam allowance as she sews!)
Nathan wanted to make a snake! So Matt's aunt collected caps from soda bottles (they drink a lot of soda and we don't) of several colors. Matt and Nathan drilled holes in the top then Nathan threaded them on wire shaping it into a snake. The best part was the "rattle" he made with split peas inside caps taped together. He won 3rd place in his age group (same group as Grace).
And I used vintage pillowcase with beautiful embroidery and edge work to make a layered apron. I didn't win anything but was more thrilled that my kiddos did!!
