Intro to Hand Stitching: A DIY Guide to Sewing with Mickeygirl Designs

Join us for an engaging beginner's hand stitching workshop led by Bonnie from Mickeygirl Designs, a lifelong sewing enthusiast. Bonnie's passion for this age-old craft shines through as she guides you through the fundamentals, equipping you with invaluable skills to continue your sewing journey at home.

In this hands-on class, you'll dive into the following key techniques:

1. Button Attachment: Discover the art of attaching buttons to a swatch or square project, a valuable skill for replacing missing buttons or adding a personal touch to your garments.

2. Ladder Stitch: Learn to master the ladder stitch, ideal for repairing popped seams in clothing or enhancing the seams of your outfits.

3. Mending Tears: Explore the art of mending tears in clothing. Begin by repairing a tear on the backside of what will become your square project. Then, stuff and sew up the project to take home as a keepsake.

4. Running Stitch: Delve into the basic straight stitch, also known as the running stitch. You'll practice this versatile stitch as you learn to stuff and hand-sew around your own square patch project.

Throughout the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to create a natural fiber, square pillow that you can refer back to whenever needed. Plus, you'll leave with your very own sewing kit and a copy of Bonnie's favorite beginner's sewing book, providing you with the resources to continue your sewing journey with confidence.

Don't miss this chance to uncover the joys of hand stitching! All ages who come to learn are welcome with parental supervision.
