    It’s Sewing Saturday, and that means it’s time to learn how to handle that hand sewing needle!  We are going to work on learning a few different techniques for tying off your thread, how to thread the needle, and how to sew on a button.  We’ll also teach a super simple stitch called a whip stitch!  These are the beginning tools you need to do some very basic repairs on clothing and other items.
