After practicing some basic hand sewing skills students will design and create a simple stuffed animal (or monster, perhaps?) uniquely designed by them. Creative embellishments such as sequins, buttons, and simple decorative stitching will add a personal touch. All are welcome, boys and girls alike. Come stitch with us!
