We offer three price levels for classes that allows you to choose your own registration cost based on need--think "pay it forward." Learn more about our sliding scale pricing options here.
Is your child creative? Creative kids love to sew and make fun things. Join the Ely Folk School and sign your kid up to learn the fun, lifelong skill of sewing.
All of the Creative Kids sewing classes are designed for kids aged 8-12yrs old.
This class is designed for students who have never used a sewing machine before and includes a basic introduction to the sewing machine, although the class is still appropriate for kids with some prior sewing machine experience. Classes inspire and teach children how to sew, using step-by-step directions, and simple language. Once kids learn a few basic skills, they’ll be eager to try their hand at all kinds of sewing projects. If a child wants to participate in class and does not have an adult available, please reach out to the Ely Folk School at [email protected] and we will pair the child with an adult sewer from Ely's local quilt guild to help! If an adult is attending with the student, you only have to register the youth - the adult will not count as an attendee!
Take your sewing skills to the next level and learn to make a pillow with a pocket! Perfect to take with to sleepovers or to a cozy corner of your house, with a built in pocket for sticking a book, snack, or other small treasures. We also plan to make a Phone Stand Pillow, perfect for holding your phone or someone in your family.
*Experienced sewers may bring their own sewing machine, with the machine manual, to class.
