Kids’ sewing classes

Sewing classes for kids.

Carefully curated for boys and girls aged 8–14 years, these beginner-friendly classes are the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of sewing.

In a supportive, small group setting (maximum of 4 children per class), each child will learn essential sewing skills while proudly creating their very own over-shoulder bag to take home!

Classes focus on sewing machine and sewing safety before any stitching begins, ensuring kids learn how to sew confidently and safely.

Not only will your child finish the class with a beautiful handmade bag, but they’ll also build a strong foundation in sewing — a fantastic life skill that encourages creativity, patience, and problem-solving.

Whether your child is curious about sewing or looking for a new hobby, this class is a great way to start their sewing journey in a safe, encouraging environment.

With all equipment supplied (if needed), these classes are a great way for kids to try sewing before parents invest in a sewing machine and any required equipment.

Sewing class highlights

• Kids aged 8–14 years (a parent or guardian must attend)
• Small class size (maximum 4 children with one accompanying adult each)
• Learn sewing machine and sewing safety
• Create an over-shoulder bag to take home
• Build confidence, creativity, and life-long skills

Parent / guardian supervision

Throughout the session, children will use a sewing machine and sharp implements like scissors, pins, and needles.  To ensure child safety throughout the class, it is essential that each participant is accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 18+ for supervision and support.

It’s also a wonderful opportunity for parents, extended family, or friends to share a fun, creative experience and bonding experience along the way.

Fabric and Materials

All fabric and materials are supplied.

Sewing Machine

This is a hands-on class and attendees can bring their own sewing machine. If you don’t have your own sewing machine, I have ones available for use during the class.

Try sewing to see if they like it

This lesson is a great way for kids to try sewing without the upfront cost of purchasing a machine. I provide everything you need including a modern sewing machine, scissors, fabric, and accessories so you can focus on learning and having fun. It’s a great opportunity to see if sewing is something you’d like to pursue before buying your own equipment.
