Childrens Sewing Classes - Online

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.

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.
