Children's Sewing Lessons

Group Class:

Learn Your Machine and Some Basics Class.

This is a great place to start learning whether you are totally new to sewing or if you have some sewing experience up your sleeve. I have had quite experienced sewers who have picked up a trick or two from my classes.

I start all beginners using this core subject lesson and fined it is an excellent place for children to begin.

Learn your Machine and Some Basics consists of two sections.

Part 1: Learning the functions and capability of the machine from low ended machines to high ended machine

Part 2: Learning basic sewing skills
