We make Toys: A Machine Sewing Club (8yo+) WED 3:00
No experience is necessary!  
The power of a sewing machine is electrifying. Every time a child learns how to handle a machine I see their eyes widen with the possibilities.
This class is for kids that want to work on their sewing skills . We will start with some basic projects before venturing into one fashion choice.
 
One of the best ways to learn to handle a sewing machine is making dolls (or plush toys). It is not as big as making clothes, and it builds the children's confidence. 
In this  class we will learn safety around a sewing machine, the basics of hand sewing, the anatomy of plush toys, different types of fabric, troubleshooting our machine. We will learn how to read patterns, how to sew in a jiffy and how to use a machine that can transform your life! 
Come and join a circle of hand crafters! Conversations develop while friendships grow. 
 
If you don’t have a sewing machine, investing in one is the best present you can ask for, since you will be using it for many years to come, or just promise your mom you will take care of hers when you bring it to class.
 
Your child needs to bring a sewing machine to class, but if you are not able, there will be 2 communal sewing machines your kids will learn to share.
