Description

Teen Sewing Class (Ages 11–18)

We are SEW excited to offer a class dedicated entirely to our teen girls and boys! This class is designed for ages 11–18 and focuses on building confidence, creativity, and independence at the sewing machine.

Class Times:

• Wednesdays: 5:00–7:00 PM

• Fridays: 4:30–6:30 PM

Some sewing experience is recommended, as this class can be challenging at times. However, if your teen is motivated and ready to learn, we are happy to teach them from the beginning.
