Kids Bag Making: Grades 4 - 7
Program Content:
Get creative and learn to sew in this fun, hands-on Slap Bag Making class designed just for kids! Participants will create their very own colorful slap bag, a small, lightweight bag that easily snaps open and closed using a flexible snap band. Sewers will learn basic sewing skills such as simple stitching, following patterns, and assembling a finished project. With step-by-step instructions and guidance from staff, kids will build confidence using a sewing machine while expressing their creativity through fabric choices. Each participant will leave with a completed slap bag they can proudly use or gift! No prior sewing experienced is required. All sewing machines, tools, and fabrics will be provided
