Can You Sew Or Crewel
I find two pre-teens who are eager to help me with a class.
This is an arts and crafts project I tell them.
Are you good with arts and crafts?
They assure me that they are.
Have you ever embroidered or sewn or done crewel?
One of them knew what sewing was.
The other one was at a loss. She had never heard of these things.
I took them anyway, I had no one else.
The mission was to help eight nine-year-olds make stuffed pillows.
They were name pillows. The goal was to decorate them with embroidery.
I spent my entire time unknotting threads, and restringing needles.
My helpers texted each other on the phone. It was a disaster.
