Teen Class (Ages 11–18)

Our Teen Class is designed for young sewists ages 11–18 who are ready to build confidence and independence at the sewing machine. Students will learn how to read and follow patterns, problem-solve, and develop their sewing skills through hands-on projects.

Some prior sewing experience is recommended, as we encourage students to take ownership of their work, think through challenges, and learn how to troubleshoot independently. Throughout the year, students will participate in seasonal challenges that introduce new techniques, including different zipper applications, specialty skills, and advanced sewing methods.

Occasionally we will post photos on our social media or use them for our website. Please let us know below if we have permission to take photos of the student.
