Design and Sew Plush Characters!

Wednesdays, 6:00 PM to 8:00PM
September 16 to October 21, 2026

Five Weeks

Learn basic hand sewing techniques and create a variety of small plush characters! In this course, character designer and fabric artist Kami Goertz will teach students the skills required to start making their own one-of-a-kind “soft action figures”. 

Start with building a number of pre-designed projects to gain an understanding of sewing techniques, how to install safety eyes, design process and decoration. Then design a unique character and build it using the techniques learned. Take home a small huggable plush of your own design! 

Note: This class will require manual dexterity and an enthusiasm to learn, but no previous sewing experience is needed. All materials will be provided. 

Class Fee: $100
