Homeschool Sewing Classes

Weekly homeschool sewing classes are a fun extra-curricular activity to reinforce skills such as problem solving, reading comprehension, math, creativity, and more. In weekly classes, sewists will learn to sew using the world renowned curriculum by Kids Can Sew. Starting with the basics, students progress in their skills and knowledge as they work through their pattern workbooks. They will learn how to read and understand patterns and instructions, pattern layout, how to safely use the sewing machine, and more.
