Student-made Caftans

Sixth grade students made traditional caftans to wear for our upcoming International Festival. We had lots of help from a great group of seamstresses: Grace's mom, Shea's mom, Nohemi's grandmother, Erin's mom, Matt's mom, and Iain's mom all came to school and sewed their hearts out so that we could have these great caftans. A BIG thank you, to them all! The pattern comes from the Free Islamic Patterns website, and working on this project gave students a great opportunity to measure, and follow directions to create their own personal design. Here is a first look at our creations.
