Classroom Considerations

• The lesson refers to "jams" which is short for "pajamas"
• You will need your own patterns for the shorts and PJs projects

Pros

• Lots of activities to choose from-—complete all or just a few
• Really focuses on the steps needed to complete a successful sewing project, using fun relay races and trivia to assist with recall

Cons

• The diagrams aren't very high quality, so you may want to replace them with clearer versions
