Little Stitches - Beginner Workshop

Is your child interested in learning how to sew? Or wanting to try something new over the Easter holidays? This workshop is perfect for children wanting to learn to sew who have never used a sewing machine before, or equally for children who haven’t sewn in a while and would like to refresh their skills.

Join our tutor Hannah, on a journey where your child will get to know their sewing machine and build their confidence in a friendly, creative environment. Learning in a small and relaxed group (max. 6 children), where no question is too silly to ask, and absolutely encouraged!

Hannah will guide the children through each step with hands on instructions/ demos and lots of encouragement, making safety a priority to ensure a fun and safe learning experience for all.

Sewing can be a wonderful creative outlet for a child. It can develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem solving & confidence. Sewing can teach kids that with patience, effort and creativity they can achieve their goals - an invaluable life lesson.

There’s something magical about seeing a child’s face light up after completing a project they have made all by themselves.

This workshop is suitable for children age 8+

What will my child learn?

-In this 2 hour workshop Hannah will go over the very important health and safety when using a sewing machine.
