Sew A Pouch: Make Your Own Chinese Hebao
Join the Arts Commission and sewist Miki Hau on October 8, 2026 from 6:30 pm - 8pm at the Beaver Lake Lodge.
Explore the art of making a tiny pouch inspired by the Chinese hebao. Sew, decorate, and fill your pouch with a little scent to create something special to take home. Adults and older kids can try simple hand sewing, while younger makers can create a no-sew version. No sewing experience needed—just come ready to make something fun with your hands!
