🧵 CHILDREN'S SEWING CLASSES

10-Week Creative Sewing & Practical Life Skills Program

Little Hands, Big Creations! 💜

Sewing is more than just a creative hobby. It's a valuable practical life skill that helps children develop confidence, independence, patience, concentration and problem-solving abilities.

At Lyndaz Kreative Klasses, I offer a friendly, inclusive and supportive learning environment where children can discover the joy of sewing, learn how to use a sewing machine safely and create their very own handmade projects.

Whether your child is completely new to sewing or already enjoys making things, they'll be encouraged to learn at their own pace with patient, step-by-step guidance.

Absolute beginners are welcome!

👩🏫 About Your Educator

With over 30 years of professional dressmaking experience, along with training in Early Childhood Education and Montessori education, I bring both practical industry knowledge and an understanding of how children learn.

As a homeschooling parent, I also appreciate the importance of hands-on learning, creativity and practical life skills.

My aim is to help children discover the joy of sewing while developing skills they can use throughout their lives.

I hold a Working With Children Check.

🏡 Parent & Guardian Information

Classes are generally conducted as supervised drop-off learning sessions.

Parents and guardians are not ordinarily seated in the classroom during lessons.

Please discuss any individual accessibility, support or supervision requirements before enrolment.

Parents and guardians are responsible for arranging punctual drop-off and collection.

If your child arrives late, additional teaching time cannot be guaranteed and must be arranged in advance.
