Youth Beginner Sewing Workshop Ages 9-12

The workshop series for beginners includes the following dates: January 17, 24, 31, and February 7, 14, 21. Limited to 4 students per workshop, additional dates will be announced through social media (@travelingseamstress on Instagram) and the Town of New Shoreham calendar.

These classes, aimed at participants aged 9-12, teach students the fundamentals of sewing. They will learn to correctly thread and use a sewing machine, basic sewing techniques, terminology, hand and machine stitching, and complete an introductory project. By the end of the course, students will have a strong grasp of sewing basics and the confidence to tackle simple projects independently.

This course is available at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis. Sewing machines, notions and tools will be provided. A limited selection of complimentary fabric options is available to participating students. Each date is a separate class and you do not need to sign up for all of them. 

This workshop is generously funded by the Town of New Shoreham and the William C. Young Family Foundation Mini-Grant Program
