Knowing the right hand stitches is what gives your garments that
couture touch. Plus, hand stitching is relaxing and satisfying!
In this hands-on workshop, an overview of the most common
stitches used in clothing construction will be provided: running
stitch, slip stitch, fell stitch, catch stitch, pad stitch, pick
stitch, back stitch, stab stitch, basting stitches, buttonhole
stitch, blanket stitch, hand overcastting and whipstitch. An
introduction to various threads that can be used, the best
needles for hand stitching, using beeswax to strengthen your
thread, and knots will be discussed. Students will leave with
their own samples of each stitch so they can refer back to them
in crucial construction moments! *No Sewing Machine Needed
