Bells and TasselsI spent yesterday morning at Jake and Lewis's school sewing bells and tassels on to a 30foot long chinese dragon!
Their school is an international school and the dragon is for the International Day celebrations in a few weeks time. The dragon and children will have a parade through the local area and back to school, everyone is to wear national dress from a country of their choice. It really is a lovely school with children from all over the world so everyone learns to get on with one another and they learn about all these different cultures. The idea being that everyone will be tolerant of people with different backgrounds.
So, after all those hours of kneeling on the floor sewing I am aching all over. I'm really not 'into' sewing but when we lifted the dragon nothing fell off so I must have done something right!
If you look closely at the photo you can see the tassels hanging from the bottom edge of the fabric, the red fabric is covered in tiny gold bells, they don't show up too well but sounded fab.
Hi Jo
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to see what you have been up to - the wonders of technology!! The dragon looks great and you look great and I'm smiling to see you. Perhaps you'll be inspired to sew on your pages now!
