CREATING A DUSTER OUT OF NOTHING; JUST PIECES OF CLOTHES...

Hello everyone...Today got me doing this in the early hours of the day
Just in class, came to see no duster to use on the chalk baord.

I had to get some pieces of clothes to prepare a duster. Couldn’t wait for the pupils, had to do it my self. It was actually fun.
Creating a duster with some pieces is actually a simple and nice hobby for me.
The materials used in the sewing of the duster were: pieces of clothes, a needle and thread…as shown below:

I first started by putting the thread in the needle to the acquired length which will take me up for the whole sewing.

I used part of the material which was big enough to contain the rest of the pieces of clothes

I folded the piece of cloth into equal two parts...I started sowing the part of the piece of cloth folded.

I sowed till I got to the edge, OI now turned to other part...sowing also till I arrived the edge as well making a U-shaped sowing.

It was actually a nice experience doing this with my students watching me in Class.

getting through with the sowing...one part of the folded material was still open. I gathered the rest of the pieces of clothes and folded them together to ease it passing through into the opened U-shaped sowed material.

After this, I had to sow the open part together so as to have a complete duster.

This was what I created out of the pieces of clothes I gathered from a nearby shop.
Isn't this a nice one?
Its quite interesting doing this...and I so loved it.

I had to test-run the duster on the chalkboard to see its efficiency...
