Sewing and dressmaking is an amazing skill for anyone to learn. Rather than it becoming a fading-away skill these days, why not give our younger generation an opportunity to learn it? This practical life skill in the long term could not only serve as a stress- buster in their busy lives but also see them sewing and altering their own clothes.

These classes are focused on providing children with a practical life skill. Children will learn the very basics of sewing and will work on one project each week. They will be encouraged to create an album with mini versions of every project they work on (optional).

Although I aim to complete one project a week for a child to take home, some projects might not be completed in the one session. As the child furthers her / his sewing skills they will be encouraged to do the next level projects.

Yes! Upon getting cofident with the basic sewing sessions children can continue to enrol into the next level in which they will gradually be moving into dressmaking and pattern drafting skills.

These classes though, are block booking only.

Children are required to bring their own fabrics and notions. Children can bring their own fabrics and notions from the second week. They will be informed what to get which will is to encourage the children shopping for materials and know various fabrics.

Encourage the children by giving them little sewing tasks for around the home or even asking them to use a measuring tape to measure doors, pillow covers, etc.
