Children's Sewing Classes
Sewing and dressmaking is an amazing skill for anyone to learn. Rather than it becoming a fading-away skill these days, why not give our younger generation an opportunity to learn it? This practical life skill in the long term could not only serve as a stress- buster in their busy lives but also see them sewing and altering their own clothes.
Please note the cost for this is term fee.
Learning Outcome - Creative Arts.
Days - Thursdays
Time - 4 pm to 5:30 pm

What is taught?
These classes are focused on providing children with a practical life skill. Children will learn the very basics of sewing and will work on one project each week. They will be encouraged to create an album with mini versions of every project they work on (optional).
Although I aim to complete one project a week for a child to take home, some projects might not be completed in the one session. As the child furthers her / his sewing skills they will be encouraged to do the next level projects.
After-school classes teaching sewing skills. Students work at their own pace through a curriculum of projects and learn:
Week 1 - Hand sewing techniques while working on the very first project.
Week 2 - Get to know your sewing machine. Learn about top and front loading sewing machines

Needle changing
Stitch lengths & tension
By the end of this class, children learn to sew a neat rolled hem.

Week 5 - Sew a door blocker
This project involves work with sand as well.
Week 6 - Sew a placemat and decorate it buttons. This projects involves both machine and hand sewing.
Week 7 - its a Thumbelina or a Tom Thimble week with needles, thimbles, cottons & rips !
Children will be learning how to mend a rip in a garment as well as sew on a hook and loop. We finish off this week by sewing a book cover
Week 8 - Basic trouble shooting of a sewing machine. Skipped stitches, loose stitches, puckering of fabric while sewing
Week 9 & 10: A recap of all that was taught and a surprise project will be completed in these last two weeks.
We wind of this last class for this term by sewing a surprise project.
By the time children complete their term of sewing, they learn how to....
- Take in a hemline
- Mend a rip in a garment
- Hand sew on a button & (manual) button hole
- Sew on hooks and loops
This will help, make children independent not just for a day or two but for the rest of their lives.
Give children the opportunity to learn a practical life skill.
Please note--- parents are not allowed to wait in the class. It's a drop off and wait in your car if you want to wait until your children complete their classes.
Are children able to learn basic dressmaking?
Yes! Upon getting confident with the basic sewing sessions children can continue to enrol into the next level in which they will gradually be moving into dressmaking and pattern drafting skills.
These classes though, are block booking only.
What to bring?
All materials are to be sourced by the parents for the children to work with.
Encourage children to shop for materials along with parents to help them know various fabrics.

Dressmaking pins
Spare sewing machine needles
Bobbins
A note book and pen if they would like to take down any notes &

As these are After school term classes, and I have learners coming from far distances as well; there's flexibility for children arriving late but will need to complete the 1.5hrs of class.

How can parents help?
Encourage the children by giving them little sewing tasks for around the home or even asking them to use a measuring tape to measure doors, pillow covers, etc.
