A Flag Workshop

Four kids and two teams; the Tonga team and the French team, a luxuriously wide tile floor, two sewing machines, yards of nylon, a myriad of sewing supplies and two patient moms contributed to a noisy and productive workshop. 
 

The kids are on boats that will be cruising to the South Pacific in the spring. After researching the countries that they will be visiting, Victoria, Johnathon, Shandro and Matero made courtesy flags that they will be proud to fly when they arrive in the territorial waters of the respective countries.  Using my patterns, they measured, cut, pinned and stitched as the soft morning sunlight flooding the room transformed to bright afternoon rays.  With just an emblem left to paint on the Tonga flags and grommets to pound in, they’re good to go. 

 It was a great day spent with smart, funny, engaged cruising kids.
