Class Information

Owning a sewing machine is not a requirement for classes. While having your own equipment is ideal, learning on classroom machines is perfectly acceptable and a great way for kids to learn if it is something they will want to continue. Do not feel that you must own a sewing machine for your kids to take classes.

Classes available:

• Appearal classes

• Camp classes

Classes are divided into the following:

• Kids (6-12 years of age)
