Description

Class Experience

I have found there are many children that would love to unleash their creativity through the art of sewing, but never pursue it because they don't own a sewing machine.

Hand Sewing for Beginners is a 4-week course designed to teach students (6) basic stitches used for general hand-sewn projects and couture garment hand sewing. This will allow them the freedom to unleash their sewing creativity without feeling restricted because they don't own a sewing machine.

Below is a rough breakdown of...

Students will be assigned homework which is to simply practice the stitch they learned in class each day until the following week's class.

Students will need:

(1) package of hand sewing needles
(1) Spool of thread
(1) fat quarter of fabric 
(1) piece of felt for the body of the cat
(1) piece of felt in contrasting color for the mouth, ears, and paws of the cat
(1) container of Thread Magic or Beeswax for hand sewing (OPTIONAL)

All of these items can be purchased at a local craft store such as Walmart, Joanns, Hobby Lobby, or even Amazon.com

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

Parental guidance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as students will be handling/working with sharp needles that can cause injury if used incorrectly.
