I am so happy to share with you my first set of Home Ed sessions! They will begin on 18th September and run every Friday finishing on 23rd October. The sessions will run from Hereford Library 2.45-3.45 and are broadly open to children aged 9+.
There will be a number of projects completed across the block focusing on skills linked to hand sewing and embroidery. Some weeks the felt or cotton base pieces may be pre-marked or pre-cut, other weeks there will be a greater scope for individual design and creativity. Across the weeks as a small, social and supportive group we will learn how to:
thread needles and secure stitches
use a handful of different stitches
mark designs and cut fabrics
use an embroidery hoop and embroidery threads
problem solve when a stitch goes awry or a thread decides to tangle
Some projects will be completed in a single session while others will be worked upon across two or three sessions. Project ideas will develop alongside getting to know the children but may include things such as zipper pouches, ‘squishies’, bookmarks, boxes, mini bunting and mini wall hangings. I have attached some photographs of makes we may explore.
This family workshop is suitable for children aged 9+ and all materials will be provided. All adults are very much welcomed and encouraged to stay, however, you may drop off and go if you would like provided a consent, contact and medical form has been completed and that most importantly the children feel happy being left. Please request this form if required.
Location: Hereford Library, Town Hall, 8 St Owens Street, Hereford, HR12PJ
Date: Friday 18th and 25th September and 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd October 2026
Time: 2.45-3.45pm
Admission: One ticket will admit a stitching young person and their accompanying adult for all six sessions.
You are welcome to bring a drink and snack, if required, to keep you going during the session.
A little about me, Kate: I am a book and nature loving, veggie growing, sewing enthusiast! I am a Primary Early Years Teacher in a tiny rural school teaching Nursery and Reception Class three days a week. The rest of the time I am StitchwithKate. Sewing has always been a passion of mine from the first touch of a sewing needle, in time it developed to be my switch off from the world and now it is something I am doing my best to share with others.
If you have any questions regarding the workshop please do not hesitate to get in touch using the ‘Contact Us’ page.
