WINTER YOUTH: Early Release Day - Machine Sewing for Kids - Beginner Level (Ages 8-12)

Course Description:
Creative, project-based sewing sessions will let beginners have fun with fabric and design while teaching the basics of sewing on a machine. Students will learn how to thread and safely operate a sewing machine, accurately cut fabric, and complete fun projects that will give them the confidence to expand their skills. We’ll also do hand sewing on some projects.

Please note: A sewing machine in good working order should be brought from home, or contact The Umbrella office for options.
