Our School Holiday Programme Workshops introduce kids to the wonderful world of sewing in a structured and supportive environment. These kid-friendly workshops cover the basics - from threading the machine to sewing achievable projects.
‘Sew Curious’ is for the newbies to learn how to thread and use the machine safely, while sewing a simple project. If your child has never sewn before, a ‘Sew Curious’ workshop is still a must, even if they’ve sewn before, they will learn how the workshop is organised and run.
‘Sew Confident’ is the next step and for those kids who are ready to build their confidence and develop their sewing skills.
‘Sew Skilled’ is for our advanced sewers to master specific skills by sewing more complex projects.
These workshops are always led by a trained/registered primary school teacher, and sometimes a skilled assistant as well. You can be sure that your child will leave feeling successful and filled with loads of learning AND a finished project!
Included: All fabric, tools and equipment, as well as a hot chocolate and a snack from one of our local cafes.
