Beginner Sewing for Kids and Teens

Our popular Kids and Teens Sewing Classes are back again for these school holidays!

Over 3 consecutive days, we will teach your kids and teens everything they need to kick start their basic sewing machine skills. Aimed at 9+ year olds, we offer project based teaching, with students completing items of a pencil/pen wrap and simple drawstring backpack.

DETAILS:

• Classes are held over 3 days, 10am-12.30pm, Tues till Thurs (29 September - 1 October)

• All materials, patterns and use of equipment is included in the cost of the course.

• Students can bring and learn to use their own sewing machine (must be clean and in good working order, ideally with instruction manual) or use one of ours.

These student classes run with a 3:1 student teacher ratio, so students receive ample guidance in learning. Unfortunately we are unable to provide one to one teaching, but if your child requires extra level of assistance, they are welcome to join the class with an assisting support person (at no extra cost).

Our classes and workshops: Our teaching is created using circular economy principles. This means, we will be using many recycled and reclaimed fabrics, and haberdashery items. We are deeply passionate about diverting textile waste from landfill and we do this through upcycling.
