Youth After School Sewing Classes
Save a spot in the Fall Term Program - Enroll today!
Our teaching method is a multi-sensory approach in a small class setting. Individuality and creativity is always encouraged and celebrated! No previous sewing experience necessary.
Students will learn how to choose the right fabric for their project, modify a pattern for a perfect fit, lay out their patterns, cut out fabric pieces, and how to construct a finished garment.
For more experienced young sewers, see our “Fashion Design” page under the “Youth” tab.
We will provide all students with thread, rulers, scissors, pins, and state of the art sewing machines. Fabric costs are NOT included and averages approximately $40-60. For convenience, students can purchase fabric from us at 20% off the retail price. Students are also welcome to bring their own fabric as long as it’s suitable for the project.
Note: $5 one-time registration fee applied for New Students.
