Hand sewing can be done anywhere! Whether you’re wanting a portable sewing method, to sew something small, mend a garment, refine your garment finishes, or take a historical sewing approach — this is the class to get you started!

Join us for a hands-on introductory course that will teach you the basic and most vital stitches done by hand. Use the stitches you’re taught to sew a pincushion to take home with you! This class is perfect for all levels, from those new to a needle and thread, to those looking to increase their sewing skillset!
