Kids Sewing Club: Make a Patchwork Tote Bag (Grades 4-5)
January 16, 23, and 30, 3:30-4:30pm
FREE

Discover the basics of sewing in this three-week workshop! After learning how to thread and safely operate a sewing machine, participants will make a fully lined tote bag using a combination of their favorite fabrics. In Week 1, participants will select fabrics, learn about the sewing machines, and practice sewing straight lines as they combine fabrics to create their own unique textiles. In Week 2, they will practice sewing accurately as they construct the outer shell and lining for their tote bag. During the last session, they’ll practice topstitching as they attach the straps and lining to finish their projects!

Grades 4-5. Registration Required. All supplies provided.
Participants must attend all three sessions.
