Stitch Camp

Complete step-by-step instructions teach the basics of how to sew, embroider, crochet, felt, knit and weave, including basic tools and techniques needed to get started. Each craft features three kid-tested projects, graded from total beginner to something a bit more sophisticated. Kids will learn how to sew bean bags (and what games to play with them), create a T-shirt dress, embroider their own "scout" badges, make toasty felted mittens and fingerless gloves, create a funky "monster" zippered change purse, knit a padded cover for their phone or table, crochet an elegant beaded bracelet or necklace, make and play with hacky sacks, and weave decorative patches on their jeans or jackets. Pop-out gift tags are provided to encourage sharing of their one- of-a-kind creations.
