About This Activity
This 7-week class is for anyone between the ages of 8 to 16 who would like to sew. Individuals of all abilities are welcome, however, do keep in mind that with a range of absolute beginners to more advanced sewists there will be moments when students may need to be either patient or independent while the instructor is helping other students who may have less experience. All sorts of projects are welcome, if your teen has a large project in mind you may want to check with the teacher that it is attainable in the class time frame, within the teacher's knowledge, and the child's abilities. If you need help picking out fabric for any project feel free to connect with your questions as well. Skill Requirements: There are no prerequisites for this class; no sewing experience is necessary. What is Provided: Patterns: Heather has some patterns in her collection, however, not may all be to your taste and/or size. As well as her collection is currently only of a moderate size. You are more than welcome to look through what she has to use during class. Materials for small projects will be provided (scrunchies, small tote bags, headbands, etc) but for bigger projects such as simple clothing projects, you will need to supply your own fabrics. What You Provide: Fabric: We can only provide fabric for small beginner projects such as scrunchies, small tote bags, headbands, etc. Anything larger, or anything clothing related will need to be provided. If you are curious as to places to source fabric feel free to reach out and options can be provided. Patterns: if you have a specific project in mind, or Heather does not have a pattern for your specific project you may have to supply one. Snacks & Refreshments are welcome! Being creative takes a lot of energy! Sewing machine (optional): If you have your own sewing machine, it is recommended to bring it so you can learn your specific machine(if it is transportable). Don't forget to pack the manual, foot pedal & power cord.
