My Mom and Dad helped me with
the Joy Jingle Bell Mitt. My Dad got me information
from the internet. I got to choose what I wanted to
do. I chose the Joy Jingle Bell Mitt because it
sounded fun for this type of season.
My Mom helped me get the
materials and helped me learn a few stitches
because I didn't know how to sew on the bells. I
traced and cut out the Joy Jingle Bell
Mitt.
When I got to my Grandma's
this is what my Joy Jingle Bell Mitt looked like.
The only thing I had sewed on were the bells. I had
glued the front and back together. The reason we
had to sew the front and back together was I didn't
want the Joy Jingle Bell Mitt to break
easily.
My Grandma helped me by
sewing the front and back together because I was
using a sewing machine for the outside and my
Grandma didn't want me to sew my finger in the
sewing machine needle. By my Grandma let me sew
some parts that weren't so hard because I've never
used a sewing machine before. My Grandma taught me
all the parts of the sewing machine and now I know
how to use it.
I don't know exactly how much
time it took because I didn't do it in a straight
number of days. It might be a week, but I'm not so
sure because I did some on several
days.
The materials I used included
two colors of felt, red and blue, eight one-inch
jingle bells, a needle and thread, plus Elmer's
glue.
The way you get the sound is
by putting your hand in the mitt and shaking your
hand. The dynamics are soft if you shake lightly,
but if you shake really hard, you will get the loud
dynamic. There is only one pitch. The pitch is
high. The timbre is jingle, like the reindeer on
Santa's sleigh, soaring through the air in Polar
Express.
My Grandma also helped me
with this part of the report by typing what I
said.
