After School Classes:
Children and Teen’s Creative Sewing Club
(ages 8 and up beginner to intermediate)
This is a guided class structure where children create projects such as basic skirts, tops or dresses as well as accessories. We let the child pick the project based on their sewing level. They will learn basic skills of pattern placement, cutting and pinning as well as machine sewing. All materials needed for the class are included in the cost of each session. These classes run every week after school and are ongoing until June, so you will choose the day and time slot that work for you. If you need to miss a class, just let us know in advance to avoid needing a make-up as some of the other sessions may be full. Classes are small and have a 3 students to 1 teacher ratio.
