“I wanted to teach the fundamental stitches of hand sewing even though also attractive to my students’ sense of neighborhood involvement and service to other individuals,” stated Molish.

She asked them to draw a monster from their imagination and name it. Then, secretively, Dunlevy sent Molish the images.
The images had been randomly assigned to the OGHS students, and the operate started. Molishs’ students, who had by no means sewn a stitch, developed, produced patterns, and sewed collectively precise replicas of every child’s monster.
