Recently, the Yiyun Shui'an Day Care Center of Yuanhe Street, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City organized the community's elderly to carry out the "persimmon" Ruyi handmade sachet production activity to share the fun of handicraft production.
On the day of the event, the staff first sent the materials to the elderly, asking them to sew the red or orange "persimmon" main body inside. When they first started, the old people were a little confused about the sewing requirements. Suddenly, Grandma Zhang said, "I know, it's like sewing a lantern shell." The elderly suddenly realized that the first difficulty was overcome, and the subsequent sewing became relatively easier. After sewing the "lantern shell", the four leaves were sewn in a similar way, and then the persimmon body and leaves were flipped and combined.
Mrs. Ma and Zhang's "persimmons" have been combined and the prototype has appeared. Next, put the filling cotton and mugwort in, sew the mouth tightly, and finally sew the rope and persimmon leash , and a persimmon sachet is finished. The staff showed the finished samples to the elderly. Everyone grabbed the needlework in their hands. Both grandma and grandpa were not willing to fall behind. They unconsciously planned to extend the one-hour manual work to two hours amid the laughter, but the elderly were happy.
"It's autumn right now, persimmons are seasonal fruits, and they can also make fun of them. It's very suitable for today's event theme." Grandma Ma said happily.
At the end of the event, the old people took the works in their hands and took a photo together, with happiness on their faces. The moment they pressed the phone, the old people shouted "Everything goes well." (Lehuiju Wang Jiankang)
