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.  This is a beginner course, so no prior sewing skills are necessary. Students will quickly be sewing up fun projects weekly at their own pace! This class will help young sewers develop their skills while sparking a passion that will last a lifetime.
