Description

Bring your creativity to life by designing and sewing your own stuffed animals! In this four-session series, held Sundays from January 4 through January 25, participants will learn the full process—from stitching and shaping to adding expressive features and personal details. You’ll explore both hand-sewing and basic embroidery techniques while learning how to customize existing patterns to make your creations truly one-of-a-kind.

 

This is a 4-part series held on Sundays January 4- January 25

 

What to Expect

Across four sessions, students will gain confidence in each step of the stuffed animal-making process, with guided instruction and hands-on practice. You’ll start with basic stitches and appliqué, move into embroidery and shaping, and finish with details like horns, fingers, or facial features. By the end, you’ll have the skills to confidently tackle any stuffed animal pattern you pick up.

 

Skills You’ll Learn

• Foundational hand-sewing techniques and decorative stitches

• Appliqué and simple embroidery for unique detailing

• Planning and placement for embroidery and embellishments

• Creating darts and gussets for three-dimensional shaping

• Adding features such as buttons, horns, and expressive faces

• Customizing and adapting existing stuffed animal patterns

 

What’s Provided

• All essential tools and materials for class use

• Pattern templates and reference guides
