We've been LOVING our one-off Family Sewing Classes so much that we're bringing you a way to dive even deeper into sewing with your little loved one! Let's Get Sewing is a four week, sequential sewing class where you and your child will learn the basics of hand sewing and machine sewing through projects perfect for teaching foundational sewing skills.
By the end of the four sessions students (both child & adult!) will be able to:
Machine Skills
- Operate a sewing machine with little guidance
- Adjust machine speed, stitch type, and tension as needed
- Change top thread, bobbin thread, and wind a bobbin
- Follow and execute sewing projects based on simple patterns
- Make small adjustments to existing patterns and create their own simple patterns
Hand Sewing Skills
- Thread a hand sewing needle
- Utilize functional stitches like the running stitch and invisible stitch
- Use embroidery thread to create decorative stitches like a split stitch, stem stitch, and whip stitch
Students will also be able to identify which tool, machine or hand, is best for different sewing tasks.
This class is designed for caregivers and children age 4-7 to learn together and work collaboratively on projects. Classes 1 and 2 will focus on skill building with teacher-led projects, and Classes 3 and 4 will have students choose and create their own project (with instructor guidance and support).
Each registration covers two seats: one kid (age 4-7) & one grown-up AND a little sewing snack (Goldfish & juice boxes). For best results, we'd like to stick to a 1:1 kid/grown up ratio. If you (one adult) would like to bring two kids, please reach out ahead of time to see if this is a possibility (hello@cutandsewphl.com).
Materials and equipment are included in your registration, so you don't need to bring anything at all!
