Kids Sewing (Ages 9 -15)


Welcome to Kid Stitch, our Monthly Kids Sewing Class, where creativity meets fun in a hands-on learning experience! This class is designed for young beginners (ages 9-14) who want to explore the exciting world of sewing. Each month, students will complete a simple, age-appropriate sewing project that encourages them to express their individuality while learning essential sewing skills. Each month, we’ll focus on a new project, such as making a personalized pillow, a cute tote bag, or even a custom bookmark. These projects are designed to build basic sewing skills and foster creativity. Children will learn how to use a sewing machine, practice hand stitching, and understand how to measure and cut fabric. They’ll gain confidence in sewing and be excited to showcase their finished creations! Each project will allow students to choose fabrics, colors, and patterns that reflect their personality and style. Kids will leave with something they’re proud to show off! Our instructors provide step-by-step guidance in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Basic machine lessons are a prerequisite. Let your child discover the joys of sewing while developing valuable skills they’ll use for years to come. With a new, exciting project each month, the fun never ends!

Cost: $ 20.00

To adequately prepare for classes and events, we ask that you please register at least 2 weeks prior to the start date.  Your space in class will not be held withhout payment.  Each class has a minimum, and maximum, number of students and may fill, or be cancelled, prior to your payment.

If a minimum number of students is not met, you will be notified, and your class fees refunded, at least 1 week prior to the class start date.  If you need to cancel cancel, please call the store at least 1 week prior to class for a full refund. No refunds of class or kit fees will be issued for cancellations under 1 week before the class start date. No shows will forfeit class and kit fees.


Upon registration, please review the list of supplies needed for the class on the class listing. All supplies should be purchased prior to class.

We are diligent about enforcing copyright laws; if a book, pattern or embroidery design is required for a class, each student must purchase their own copy. There are no exceptions.

Students should bring their sewing machine with all of the appropriate parts (including the instruction manual, foot control and power cord). Students must be familiar with the basic operation (i.e. winding a bobbin and threading the machine) of their machine for creative classes, and the machine must be in good working condition. Alternatively, a student may pre-register to rent a sewing machine (when avail;able) for creative classes at a rental rate of $20 per class session.  Students who experiences great difficulty with their sewing machine during class may need to rent a machine.
