Introduction to Hand Sewing (Family-Friendly)

Saturday, July 11 | 1-4 PM
$40 | General
$30 | Textile Museum Members
One Adult ticket purchase required for every Child ticket purchased.

In this side‑by‑side program for children and their adult caregivers, we will introduce sewing fundamentals to our younger learners (ages 6-12). We’ll guide you through the essential hand sewing skills and techniques you need, including introductions to different stitches, hand sewing basics, and sewing on a button. We will then apply these skills by sewing a mini pouch to take home.

Through our guided activities you’ll gain the introductory sewing skills needed to continue exploring and making different types of projects.

No prior experience is required, and materials are provided. This class provides a supportive, beginner-friendly, and kid-friendly environment to build a strong foundation in sewing.

For any questions or accessibility accommodations, please contact Isabelle Sain (isain@textilemuseum.ca).
