Today I got to sew for my son, but this was not your ordinary sewing project. No clothing or quilts were made. No, we made a replica of Orville and Wilbur Wright's 1900 Glider.
Caleb has been fascinated with planes ever since he read Russell Freedman's book about the Wright Brothers, so today he asked if we could try making a model. We brain stormed about ways to make it work and we finally settled on muslin and toothpicks. I sewed small channels for the toothpicks to give the top and bottom wings body, then we used hot glue to hold it all together. It may be too heavy to fly, but it was so fun making something with my son.
Whoa! Super cool!
