Learn to sew school holiday classes for children.
Looking for a fun, creative, and hands-on school holiday activity? My school holiday sewing classes are perfect for children aged 8–14 years who want to learn how to sew and gain confidence using a sewing machine.
Held in a supportive and engaging environment, each class is limited to just 4 children to ensure individual attention and personalised guidance.
These school holiday sewing classes are beginner-friendly and introduce kids to the world of sewing in a fun, safe, and inspiring way. Each child will complete a unique over-shoulder bag to take home, giving them a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Everything is provided, including sewing machines (or you can bring your own).
This is a wonderful bonding experience.
Parents, guardians, grandparents, and close family friends are warmly encouraged to attend alongside their child. In the busyness of everyday life, it can be hard to find meaningful one-on-one time. This workshop offers a special chance to slow down, connect, and create something together. Whether you’re helping from the sidelines or joining in as a participant, it’s a shared memory both of you will treasure.
What your child will learn:
- How to safely use a sewing machine
- Basic sewing techniques and fabric handling
- Confidence in creating their own handmade project
- The value of upcycling and sustainable living
Note: A parent or guardian aged 18+ must remain on-site for children aged 14 and under.
