Hand sewing

Begin sewing and mending

A reusable set of sewing tools and all-purpose thread make a starting point for small fabric projects and repairs. Practice scraps let the first stitches happen away from a garment.

Suggested start: 16+ & adults

Separate tools and thread support repeated sewing and mending tasks beyond a single supplied pattern.
