ages 4 to 8 with an adult
Saturday, November 21, 2015
Morning class, 9am-noon    Afternoon class, 1-4 pm
A truly unique experience for a child to sew something "themselves.”  This class introduces children to the art of sewing.  They will trace patterns, sew both by hand and by machine, as well as learn several basic embroidery stitches.  They will stuff and name their bear and more! 
The class is small so every child/adult team gets plenty of assistance and encouragement. Non-sewing adults are welcomed and encouraged to bring their favorite child. The first class creates the stuffed toy Teddy Bear or Cat. Additional classes will create bedding, clothing and accessories for bear or other cherished dolls/animals. 
Gather your favorite child or grandchild and sew! Class Fee, including materials: $45.00
