Basic Sewing Skills and Plushie Creation

Stitch your way to creativity in our "Basic Sewing Skills and Plushie Creation" class! Perfect for beginners and those looking to refresh their sewing techniques, this workshop introduces you to essential sewing skills while guiding you through the fun process of making your own plushie.

You’ll start with the basics—learning about different stitches, sewing machine operation, and fabric handling. Then, put your newfound skills to use by creating a charming, custom-designed plushie. Our skilled instructor will walk you through each step, from cutting fabric pieces to assembling and stuffing your plushie, ensuring you gain confidence and competence with every stitch.

By the end of the class, you'll not only have a huggable creation to show off but also a solid foundation in sewing that will serve you well for future projects. Join us for a hands-on experience that blends practical skills with creative fun!

Participants should be at least 10 years old to participate within this camp. Proper attire is also needed. No open toed shoes or loose clothing. No “dangling” jewelry and all hair will need to be tied back.
