Celebrate the season by creating a keepsake Sugar Plum Fairy doll. Students will cut, stitch, and design their fairy—embroidered face, wool hair, and a sparkly tutu, We’ll combine beginner-friendly machine sewing for sturdy seams with hand-sewn details for personality and polish.
Last year we made an angel version—this year’s fairy brings the Nutcracker magic!

What we’ll do:
Use simple patterns to cut and machine-stitch the doll clothing.
Stuff and close the doll.
Embroider simple facial features.
Personalize with ribbon and trim.
Take-home: One finished 20" cloth Sugar Plum Fairy (or very close to finished) plus a small embellishment packet for final touches at home if desired.
