A beginner-friendly sewing program for kids ages 4-9. Young participants will explore both hand sewing and introductory machine sewing!

Registration is required for this class, due to availability of materials.  No one will ever be turned away from a program, yet registration is important for material availability. 

This class will run six weeks; our plan is teaching hand-sewing skills to children ages 4 to 9 with the end goal of making a simple hand-sewn nine square. The plan gradually builds motor skills, basic sewing techniques, and confidence through age-appropriate activities.

Age Range: 4–9 years
Project Goal: Complete a small nine square quilt. 
Duration: 6 weeks, 1 session per week (45–60 minutes each)
Skills Covered: Threading a needle, running stitch, backstitch, tying knots, fabric handling, safety

For more information, please contact jrodgers@nlrlibrary.org

If you bring younger kids to the program, do to not having childcare, we will be happy to give them stitch boards to work on.
