The session kicks off with a taster where you make a funky pencil case, use your imagination, and make your design as whacky as you want!
In the following weeks, you can make and design a plush toy, made of felt, you may want to bring in scraps of fabric/buttons/ribbons, etc to add to it. You may decide to design a funky alien, an Among Us plush, or a beautiful Llama and explore the use of decorative embroidery stitches. This is an easy step-by-step sewing project which is open for all abilities who wish to make a plush toy of their choice.

Remember both boys and girls can sew!

You will be teamed with other students at your craft/ sewing level. You will have the opportunity to pick a design and craft/sew it over the weeks. I will show you new skills that you can use to create the design you want to achieve.
