What to expect on a children’s sewing course

Your child will be taught by two friendly tutors. Anneka, Jessica, and Jane rotate between the different courses, but your child will always have the same two on a course they attend. The tutors will differentiate the learning during the course to ensure everyone feels confident and capable, as well as challenged, and able to make a good quality product.

Does my child need sewing experience?

No, your child will be taught all the basics to be able to make their product. The classes are grouped by age as we find that children of similar ages tend to have similar ability levels. The courses are carefully designed to ensure the project is engaging and achievable. However, if your child is an experienced sewer, the tutors can adapt their teaching and potentially some elements of the project to ensure they feel challenged, and enjoy their course. For the less experienced sewers, the tutors will provide more help than they would at an adult’s sewing course. If your child is struggling, the tutors will step in to support, and possibly complete a small section of sewing if this is what is needed to regain their confidence! So, do not worry if your child has little to no experience sewing, they will be supported all the way so that they are happy with what they make.

If your child is in year 6 with limited sewing experience, book them onto a year 3-6 course. If your child is in year 6 and has used a sewing machine to make something before, book them onto a year 6-9 course.
