Bags We All Make

____________________________________________________________

We’ve all heard of SWAG bags at major events SWAG is an acronym for Stuff We All Get. BWAM Bags We All Make, puts a spin on this as students learn basic sewing skills through bag making. Using responsible decision making, teams of students will follow instructions and work to complete the steps of building a bag in the allotted time. Students must create a bag that consists of 2 seams, 1 hem, 4 grommets, and 2 pieces of rope.  The students will use self management to work a machine and complete the task at hand. Upon completion, students will  generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work to decorate a bag that represents them. If time permits, students will  convey the meaning of their bag to peers.

One workshop session for bag and basic decoration.  Add second session plus planning meeting for screenprinted bag.  Supplies: $3 per bag, $5 per bag if screen printing is included
