includedClass Experience
⭐ In this one day course I will teach learners how the basics of how to sew by hand. ⭐We will go over basic skills such as: ✨thimble placement ✨how to place thread through the needle ✨how to tie a knot at the end of the thread ✨marking fabric to sew a straight line ✨sewing a straight line (by hand) ⭐ I will demonstrate each skill as many times as needed until each learner feels like they are comfortable with the skill. Everyone will need to keep their screen on and their mics on so they can ask questions. ⭐ Learners will be able to socialize with each other during our time. ⭐ Since this is a beginning course, no previous knowledge is necessary.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to thread a needle on their own. They will also be able to sew on a straight line holding 2 pieces of fabric together.
