HAND-SEWING FOR KIDS
( Suitable for 9 -13 year olds) * 2.5 Hours
The truth is, not many parents and caregivers own a sewing machine, and the ones who do, highly likely don't know how to use it or simply don't have the time. This is where we come in with our School Holiday Sewing Classes for Kids, which will focus on teaching your child the basics needed for everyday emergencies, such as mending their own school uniform hem. A skill that will no doubt come in handy at every stage in life.
THE KIDS WILL LEARN:
- How to SAFELY use a needle & other sewing tools (P.S. No sewing machines will be used at all in this course).
- 3 Basic Stitches used in everyday sewing (these are useful stitches that can be applied to most sewing projects).
- Easy hacks used by Fashion Stylists & Editors (when dealing with fashion / apparel emergencies).
On completing this Module, your child will receive a certificate, as well as their very own Sewing Kit with the tools / materials needed for practising their new found skill at home.

This traditional skill offers numerous benefits that can positively impact a child's development and creativity.
1. Enhances Fine Motor Skills
Hand sewing requires precision and coordination, helping children develop their fine motor skills. By practicing stitching and threading needles, kids can improve their dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
2. Fosters Creativity & Self Expression
When children learn how to hand sew, they have the opportunity to express their creativity through fabric and thread. From designing their own patterns to choosing colours and textures, sewing allows kids to explore their artistic side and empowers them to self-express in a tangible way.
3. Promotes Patience & Focus
Sewing is a meticulous craft that requires patience and focus. By teaching children how to hand sew, they learn the value of perseverance and concentration. This can translate into improved attention span and problem-solving skills. As well as this they learn the value of taking their time and being patient. It's a great way to instil the importance of paying attention to detail in a fun and engaging way.
4. Building Confidence and Resilience
With each completed project, children gain a sense of accomplishment and pride in their handiwork. They learn that mistakes are not failures but opportunities for growth and improvement. Like a seamstress who transforms a torn garment into a masterpiece, they develop resilience and confidence in their abilities.
5. Promoting Sustainability
In a world where fast fashion reigns supreme, teaching kids how to hand sew can instil a sense of sustainability and appreciation for handmade items. By creating their own clothes or accessories, children can learn the value of craftsmanship and the importance of reducing waste.
