After School Classes:
Tween’s and Teen’s Fashion Club
(ages 12 and up – intermediate)
This is a structured class where they will make a garment from either a commercial pattern or one of our patterns like pajama pants, a top, a skirt or a dress. If working from a commercial pattern, they will learn how to read pattern instructions while advancing their sewing skills on the machine. All materials needed for the class are included in the cost of each workshop. These classes run every week after school and are ongoing until June. If you need to miss a class you must let us know in advance. Make-ups can either be scheduled during another class time if we have availability or rolled over to another session. Classes are small and have 3 student to 1 teacher ratio with 9 students max.

Summer Workshops:
Children’s / Teen’s Workshop:
(ages 8 and up – beginner or intermediate)
If your child is a beginner, they will learn basic skills of cutting and pinning their fabric along with operating a sewing machine to make their cross body bag. If your child has been sewing they will continue to improve their sewing skills by making an easy garment or accessory from our pattern collection. They will choose their fabric, pin and cut the pattern pieces and then they will be using the straight stitch and serger machines to sew their project. This is a 3 hour workshop which includes all materials needed to complete their project. Classes are limited to 6 students.
