Young Makers — 4‑Week Sewing Course

Perfect for ages 9–12 • 1 hour 45 mins per week on 4 consecutive Fridays • All materials included.

DATES - Jan 9th, 15th, 22nd, 29th  4.30 - 6.15pm

Give your child the confidence to sew, create, and make useful projects they’ll be proud of. Over four weeks, they’ll learn how to use a sewing machine safely, sew straight lines, install a zip, sew curves, and follow simple pattern pieces — all while completing a finished project every single week.

This course is designed for beginners and returners. Children can bring their own machine or borrow one in the studio.

⭐ What they’ll make

Your child will complete four projects across the block:

Week 1 — Scrunchies 

A confidence‑building first project focused on straight‑line sewing. 

Week 2 — Pencil Roll

Lots of straight‑line practice to build neatness and control. Includes adding personalisation using a heat transfer application.

Week 3 — Zipped Bag with Box Corners

A useful bag introducing zips and shaping.

Week 4 — Apron

Curves, seams, straps and a pocket — a brilliant final project for the kitchen or craft table.
