Dolls in Sleeping Bags
How To: Grades prep, One and Two from Koondrook Primary School created these very cute “ Dolls in Sleeping Bags” during our textiles unit in term 3. We learnt to execute a range of stiches using acrylic yarn and hession . We were really excited with our finished creations. In class we wrote stories about our dolls and made these into mini books as part of our ‘Book Week’ activities. Year of the Rooster Grade 5 & 6 students from Koondrook Primary School were intrigued by a string of Vietnamese fabric chickens at a Queen Victoria Market stall whilst at Urban Camp in June. They decided that they could create their versions of these chickens/roosters in their weekly art sessions. Initially we used Procion dyes to create a fabric colour wheel with the primary colours. These beautifully coloured fabrics were then cut , stitched , stuffed, glued, decorated and then strung to create their fantastic mobiles. A variety of sewing techniques and skills were learnt along the way including developing their patience and perseverance. Shelly Mitchell Murray Plains MACC- Mobile Art Craft Centre
