In this workshop you will build confidence and sew some fun soft toys for yourself and loved ones.

What will you make & learn?

For beginners, coming straight from the Kids Sewing Beginner workshop, we will sew a cloud soft toy in rainbow colours and then an owl:

Session 1 & 2: Join and sew the fabrics to create the rainbow. Get a first feel for embroidery when creating the cheeks, eyes and mouth. We will then join the front and back pieces to create the cloud shape, and stuff.

Session 3 & 4: Choose your fabrics and cut all pieces needed for your owl soft toy. Learn appliqué when attaching the wings and sew the eyes and beak. Join front and back pieces to create the owl, and stuff.

For confident beginners, that have more experience, they can sew the owl too or choose to sew trickier soft toys, like the cat or lama.

For all soft toys, kids will get more comfortable sewing straight lines, sew curves, embroider faces, sew appliqué. Kids might perform small pressing tasks using a smaller iron under careful supervision.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is suitable for children aged 8 years and above who have previously attended the Kids Sewing Bee beginner workshop, or made similar items; or have attended the club and just want to make more soft toys. We like to keep workshop sizes small, giving you lots of one on one time and the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like. The maximum workshop size is 8.
