Here is the next installment of Home Ed sessions focusing on all things festive! They will begin on 6th November and run every Friday finishing on 11th December. The sessions will run from Hereford Library 2.45-3.45pm and are broadly aimed at children aged 9+. Booking is for all six sessions.
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 (if this skill has not already been grasped)
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 week by week but will all have a festive theme meaning by Christmas you will have several new decorations for your tree. I have attached some photographs of makes we may explore.
This family workshop is suitable for children aged 9+ with an accompanying adult and all materials will be provided.
Location: Hereford Library, Town Hall, 8 St Owens Street, Hereford, HR12PJ
Date: Friday 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th November and 4th and 11th December 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.
