AGIS Conference 2024 Potsdam

This class is designed to give students a chance to practice sewing by hand, using embroidery thread and embroidery needles. The class will start by practicing two stitches and participants will then apply the sewing techniques to either a purse, pocket kitty, or small stuffy, using felt and embroidery thread. Sewing allows students to focus on concentration, fine motor coordination, technique, and design creation.
