This class is a series of individual lessons. In the 18th & 19th centuries, before the invention of the sewing machine, everything was done using a variety of hand stitches. From basic clothing construction to mending, from the creation of quilts, linens and curtains to elaborate tapestries and other works of art – all were created by various methods of hand sewing. We will be learning a variety (10-12) of the most commonly used stitches and will create several small projects. These stitches were what every girl was taught from a very early age. Learning about stitching will teach history, economics, science and art as well as learning how to interpret instructions, plan out and finish a project. (You will need to supply your own needles, thimbles and scissors for each of the 8 classes.)
The sixth class: Trees & Flowers will meet on 01/19/2026 – There are many varied stitches that can be used to create tree and flower designs. This class is an advancement from the basic stitches used in embroidery. Here we explore how to fill in larger areas of a design with colors and texture that will make your art come alive! You bring needles, thimbles, scissors, and your imagination!
You need to register for each lesson on its own so your child will attend as many or as few in which they have an interest. All lessons will be held at the same time and location as listed above.
