Sewing Basics: Make Your Own Stuffy – Saturday 11/7, 10am-12pm
In this fun and hands-on 2-hour class, kids will get an exciting introduction to the sewing machine! This class goes over the basics of machine operation, threading, straight stitching, and backstitching—all while building confidence and creativity. Then, students will put their new skills to work by creating their very own stuffy. All materials are included. No experience necessary! This course is specifically designed for beginner sewists with little to no prior experience.
Bring your own sewing machine if you have one!
