Felt Gingerbread Holiday House — Kids’ Sewing Workshop (Norfolk)
November 29, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
$65Join me for the 9th Annual Felt Gingerbread Holiday House Workshop—a Little Stitch Studio tradition. Using wool-blend felt, children will cut, pin, and sew a charming gingerbread house, then personalize it with stitched “icing,” windows, doors, and candy-inspired trims. The focus is on handwork and design choices; machine sewing is very limited..
Who it’s for: True beginners are welcome; returning students can explore more detailed embellishments and surface design.
What we’ll do:
-
Cut high-quality felt pieces using simple templates
-
Pin and stitch seams for the 3D structure
-
Add decorative hand stitches and trims (think gumdrops, peppermint stripes, snowy roofs)
Take-home: One felt gingerbread house (or nearly finished) plus a small packet of embellishments to complete at home if needed.
-
Ages: 6 and up
-
Group Size: Limited to 6 students
-
Includes: All materials, tools, and festive trims
-
Safe cutting and pinning

Hand-sewing basics: running stitch, whipstitch/blanket stitch (age-appropriate)

Fine-motor coordination and patience
Drop-off only. Our studio is set up for makers; there’s no waiting area.
