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.
Our classes are finished for this school year and will resume in September. Our new schedule will be on the website in July.
Saturday / Summer Sewing Workshops:
Children & 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 a 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.
