Hand Sewing 101- Juniors- Learn How to Handsew a Felted Strawberry Buddy
This beginner-friendly hand sewing class is designed specifically for teens ages 10–18 who want to learn foundational sewing skills in a fun, supportive environment. Students will be guided step-by-step through the basics of hand sewing while creating their own Strawberry Stitch Kit Buddy to take home.
Because this is a small, teen-focused class with only 8 spots available, each student will receive plenty of individualized instruction, hands-on guidance, and support throughout the project.
We’ll cover foundational hand-sewing skills such as threading a needle, basic stitches, knotting techniques, sewing safely, and working with soft materials — perfect for true beginners with no prior sewing experience.
All materials are provided, and each participant will receive a Heron Hill Stitch Co stitch kit to use during class and take home. Students will leave with a finished project, new hand-sewing skills, and the confidence to keep creating on their own!
