This 4 week sewing program is designed for young creatives ages 8-14 who are ready to build confidence, creativity, and technical skill at the sewing machine.
Throughout the session, participants will design and construct their own custom pillow while learning essential sewing skills, including:
Week 1: Sewing machine basics, set up, and safe operation
Week 2: Measuring, marking, and cutting techniques with a focus on straight lines
Week 3: Fabric cutting and creative customization using appliqué
Week 4: Final construction details, hand stitching, and closing the pillow with care and precision
By the end of the course, students will not only take home a finished pillow, but also gain foundational sewing skills, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship and design.
