Description:
Kids can sew too! This hands-on class will teach students the basics of machine sewing. We will first learn about sewing safety, fabric, buttons, and patterns. Students will quickly be sewing up projects in these key areas: hug, hold it, give, wear, recycle and repair. We will be using simple sewing machines. This class will help young sewers develop their skills while sparking a passion that will last a lifetime.
