Assessment is informal and this sewing class, as I check in regularly with each young artist to make sure they understand what to do.Class Experience
This class is an easy, laid back experience for beginners to enjoy sewing. It covers the very basics of hand sewing, and how to sew on a button. This class is for learners who have never threaded a needle, and for learners who already know the basics and want to learn to sew a button. Topics Covered in This Class: * Know Your Sewing Tools * The 3 Keys to Sewing * How to Thread Your Needle * Starting and Ending Your Stitching * Sewing a Button on Felt * Making a Needle Book What to Expect in Class: After greetings, I share my workspace camera so our project is easy to see. First we practice sewing together and learn some problem solving strategies. We cut some felt, sew on a button, and cut a buttonhole together. As time allows, we can decorate our needle books with markers or with our needle and thread! I check in with everyone as we work, and encourage students to chat and share as we go. Class wraps up with sharing time and goodbyes. If students have not finished their needle book by the end of class, they can follow the instructions I share to complete their work after class. I am also available for private lessons: https://bit.ly/3GjSWr9 Because sewing involves sharp objects, I recommend an adult be nearby while we are sewing. The adult may even enjoy sewing along with us! (Off camera, of course :) How Learners Will Interact: This class features lots of student discussion while we sew. Share time at the end of class gives each student an opportunity to share their work. After class, learners interact with one another by posting pictures of their artworks, and commenting on classmates’ works. I share a Positive Critique technique that gives students an easy way to talk with others about their projects. My Teaching Style: I am a compassionate teacher and I respect student artists’ varying skill levels and communication preferences. Learners may choose to engage in discussions, respond using chat, and/or share their artworks. Learners are encouraged to communicate in a way that is best for them. Art is all about individual expression!
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to use sewing tools safely, thread a needle, make a running stitch, and sew a button.
Students will learn how to make a needle book using felt and a button.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Because young artists will be using sharp tools like needles and scissors, I recommend an adult be nearby. The adult may even enjoy sewing along with us! (Off camera, of course :)

Hi! I'm Ms. Karen and I teach sewing, drawing and painting here on Outschool.
I have a BA in Studio Art, and a current teaching certificate in Visual Arts and in Gifted Education. I have taught art in public and private schools from Pre-K to 12th grade for 20 years. Now, I teach on Outschool, and host paint parties!
Through my calm and positive instructional style, I encourage artists to engage in art making and trust their own ideas. I model being okay with making mistakes (they are a natural part of learning), trying new things, and sharing ideas. Including each learner in class discussion is important to me, because I want every learner who is in one of my classes to feel important and included.
I use two cameras to teach: one for my face, and one over my work space. Because students have a good view of what I am doing, it is easier for them to create!
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy my big animal family! My husband and I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. Amazingly, they all get along. I like kayaking in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia where I live. I find observing nature endlessly fascinating, and enjoy seeing bald eagles, osprey and herons regularly.
One of the most interesting events in my life was when I spent time with the artist Christo at a dinner party. Talking with him was fascinating! He had so many stories of traveling and adventure to share.
