HULLE sit kop omlaag by die groot tafel in die klaskamer aan die einde van die lang gang \u2013 handgemaakte patrone, \u2019n sk\u00ear, speldekussings, \u2019n maatband en helderrooi materiaal l\u00ea voor hulle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die een fynbeplande steek na die ander volg . . . moeilik vir die ongeoefende oog om te volg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gesoute naaldwerkhande Rachel Koopman en Lizette Buckle woel en werskaf al sedert hul laerskoolde agter die naaimasjien, nou, dekades later, ploeg hulle hul kennis en pas-sie terug in een van Kouga se enigste naaldwerkklasse en -projekte vir jong leerders by King\u2019s College in Jeffreysbaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met groot sukses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Kings\u2019s College word nie net knope aangewerk, lappies omgewerk en some inge-sit nie. H\u00ed\u00e9r word skooluniforms gemaak: hemp, skort (\u2019n kombinasie van \u2019n kortbroek en romp) en sweetpak. En deftige aandrokke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elke steek perfek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die rede?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElke kind is besonders. Elkeen het \u2019n doel op aarde. Nie almal kan akademies uitblink nie \u2013 daarom die naaldwerkklasse,\u201d s\u00ea King\u2019s College skoolhoof Soria Swart terwyl sy oor die patrone voor haar vee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is belangrik om vir die leerders \u2019n vaardigheid aan te leer waaruit hulle eendag \u2019n bestaan kan maak \u2013 dalk hul eie besigheid begi<\/span>n.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Naaldwerk<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar waar het dit begin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n By \u2019n na-skoolse naaldwerkprojek wat sedertdien sy begin vyf jaar terug uit sy nate bars. D\u00ed\u00e9 projek is oop vir alle leerders \u2013 mits hulle in naaldwerk belangstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het gesien hoeveel voordeel leerders uit die projek trek en, meer belangrik, hoe die fynere kunsies van onder meer geldbestuur, stik, hekel en borduur hulle bemagtig,\u201d s\u00ea Swart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is ongelooflik om te sien hoe die kinders se selfvertroue ontwikkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaar is besluit om naaldwerk as \u2019n volwaardige vak vir graad 4 en graad 5-leerders aan te bied, asook om dit deel van ons beroepsonderrigprogram te maak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terwyl die graad 4 en 5-leerders die basiese tegnieke van naaldwerk aanleer en met die maak van die uniforms help, leer die handjie-vol uitgesoekte beroepsonderrig-leerders hoe om met geld te werk en om klere te maak \u2013 van \u2019n kortbroek tot \u2019n aandrok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buckle vertel trots: \u201cDi\u00e9 leerders begin deur hul eie mates te neem voor hulle \u2019n ba-siese patroon ontwerp en uitsny. Dan volg die maak van \u2019n skort en uiteindelik \u2019n glansryke aandrok op \u2019n naaimasjien \u2013 \u2019n eerste vir die leerders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHulle help verder met die maak van die uniform vir die skool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDi\u00e9 beroepsgerigte vaardighede moedig leerders aan om hul unieke aanleg te ontdek en dit ten volle te ontwikkel. Ons wil hulle deur die klasse bemagtig en in staat stel om later vir hulsef geld te genereer. Dalk kan hulle eendag klere vir Parys se modeskoue ontwerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2019n Mens moet mos groot droom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Toerusting<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit alles ten spyte van \u2019n tekort aan toerus-ting \u2013 Koopman en Buckle gebruik hul eie naaimasjien om die kinders te leer. En \u2019n houtplank word as \u2019n lininaal ingespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Donasies van enige naaldwerktoerusting en -materiaal is welkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vir meer inligting, skakel King\u2019s College by
