Program Description

Event Details

Ready to slow down, thread a needle, and pick up a timeless skill? This fun, upbeat workshop focuses on learning and practicing six essential hand‑sewing stitches—the ones you’ll use again and again for mending, simple repairs, and creating things like clothing, pillows, and soft toys at home.

In this class, we won’t be making a finished project. Instead, you’ll spend the session building confidence, trying each stitch at your own pace, and getting comfortable with the motions. All materials are provided, so you can simply show up, relax, and enjoy the rhythm of sewing by hand.

By the end, you’ll walk away with practical skills you can use for years—and the satisfaction of knowing you can fix (or create!) something with just a needle and thread. If you’re excited to keep going, you’re also invited to join our machine‑based sewing class for the next step in your skills journey.
