After-School Sewing Club Description:
A 6-week course for 8-12 year old beginner sewers! With one to two projects a week, everyone will leave with a great introduction to this life-long skill. These after school sewing classes will be a very fun, relaxed environment for making friends and learning machine basics, with an introduction to patterns and garment creation.
The after-school sewing club will be taught by Charlotte Delahunt, a sewist since age 7, and now costume design student at Edinburgh College of Art with two years of experience teaching at a sewing school and a huge passion for sharing her skills with kids!
What will my child learn at After-School Sewing Club?
sewing machine skills
cutting and sewing fabric
project planning
design skills to stimulate their imagination
each project offers progressive challenges.
Projects include drawstring bag, pyjamas, pencil roll & cushion,
Fabrics will be offered at the studio but the kids are more than welcome to bring their own if there is a specific pattern they would like - we will be working with poly cotton. No other supplies are necessary.
Our 90 minute Monday classes will give everyone a great knowledge of sewing with machines and a creative attitude towards realizing their designs with sewing!
8-12 years old is the perfect age at which to learn how to sew. Sewing is an ideal creative activity for children. It develops their manual dexterity, hand/eye co-ordination, and encourages focus, concentration and project management skills. Completing a sewing project from start to finish fosters a sense of accomplishment that can boost a child’s morale and self-confidence. And it’s really great fun! Plus it gives them a huge sense of achievement, self-worth and reduces anxiety.
Because they’re having such a great time, they don’t actually realise how many valuable sewing skills they are learning which will stay with them for life.
