Teens School Holiday Sewing Course (3-days)

NOTE:This is a 3-day consecutive class for $600.

Special Offer: Does your teen have a friend who would like to join the school holiday sewing course? Book 2 or more tickets for 15% off, use promo code SEWTOGETHER during checkout.

Over three full days (9:30am–3:30pm each day), the teens will learn machine sewing fundamentals under the guidance of our friendly and skilled instructor in a warm and supportive environment.

By the end of the 3-day school holiday sewing course, your teen will take home several projects and a newfound sense of accomplishment in their sewing abilities.

Throughout the course, students get plenty of hands-on practice with different sewing techniques (straight stitching, backstitch, hemming, finishing raw edges, sewing curves, inserting elastic and zippers). By completing multiple projects, they progressively build skills while keeping things fresh and exciting each day. Absolutely everyone leaves with handmade items they’re proud of – and the knowledge to continue sewing beyond the class.

We end the third session with a light, non-sewing crafty activity so the group can unwind, celebrate their achievements, and have fun together.
