What's Sewing On? 3 Intro to Patching and Darning (10-13)

Sewing is a basic life-skill that is useful to anyone and everyone. From mending ripped clothing or toys, to creating garments and costumes, sewing is a multi-use skill that for most will see life-long application and for some may even become a profession. In this beginner level sewing class, students will be introduced to patching and darning (weaving patches directly into fabrics) holes and tears in fabrics and garments. We will practice darning and patching techniques throughout the class both by practicing simulated tears on the embroidery hoop and mending actual clothing. This class presupposes some basic level knowledge (how to thread a needle and basic stitching skills, as well as mending tears along seams), if your child still needs to learn these skills, consider starting with What's Sewing On? 1 Intro to Sewing and Stitching, and What's Sewing On? 2 Intro to Mending and Hemming. 
The class will be structured in an "I do, you do, we do" format with myself explaining and demonstrating the skills, observing and correcting each learner, and then revisiting each of the skills all together. Learners will be encouraged to be openly communicative with myself and their peers throughout class and to actively participate as they learn their new skills.

Please note: While supervision of your children is preferred, parents must stay off camera for the duration of the class
