Term 3 Technology

Yesterday, on Thursday 23rd July, we returned to our third term of Manual at Lincoln Primary. This term I am in Textiles and my teacher is Mrs Paterson. As it was the first day in Textiles we just made a little pillow or a bag tag. I made a small pillow with a heart in the middle. I found out that hand stitching isn't as hard as I thought it would be. 
I also need some ideas for what to make this term please comment if you have any ideas. :)
