Sewing Class for Kids -- Summer Break Fun

Summer Break is here, and if you’re looking for a creative, confidence?building activity for your kids or grandkids, this is the perfect opportunity. Sign them up for one, two or all three days of our Beginning Sewing Class designed especially for young makers.

By the end of class, students will feel more comfortable sewing straight lines, understanding seam sizes, and safely using an iron.

Who Can Join

• Ages: 8 and up
• Skill Level: Beginner
