So the summer hols have arrived at last. It has been a long half term and anyone with school age children knows just how frantic it can be towards the end of the school year. Along with sports days, swimming galas and parent assemblies there are also numerous parties to attend and teachers' gifts to make/buy.
At Hope & Gloria it is also time for us to reflect on the past twelve months and all of the brilliant things that the children have achieved in our sewing clubs.
A couple of weeks ago I did an assembly for children at a school where we are launching a new after school club in September. I wanted to illustrate what a school year looks like in our clubs. Children were invited to stand at the front and hold up our projects from September through to the end of the school year in July. The idea was to show them the variety of projects they can make and the skills they will learn throughout the course of the year. For me it was a bit of a trip down memory lane as it is so easy to be caught in the here and now and forget all that our fabulous sewing enthusiasts have achieved over the past 12 months.
So here is our review of the year. All of the Hope & Gloria Team have had a truly wonderful year and thoroughly enjoyed working with the lovely children in our school clubs and workshops. We can't show all of the projects that have been made but here is a selection. All of our club members should be very proud of everything they have done - you are brilliant and we look forward to seeing you in September. Until then, "Happy Summer!"
