Assessment
Assessment is informal in this sewing lesson, as the teacher makes sure the young sewist understands each skill presented, and is happy with their learning.

Class Experience

In this one-time private sewing lesson, I work with the learner exploring their choice of a sewing skill or project.   Sewing projects could be hand sewing or machine sewing.  I share ideas for practice at the end of our session, and links to learn more in our classroom.  

Examples of private sewing lesson topics:

For beginners:
*2 Ways To Thread a Needle
*Hand Sew a Pillow
*Hand Sew a Needle Book

For young sewists with some experience sewing:
*Beginning Embroidery
*Design and Sew Your Own Stuffie
*Sew a Drawstring Bag

What to Expect in Class:  This class begins with greetings, and discussing what the student wants to learn.  During class, I use two cameras.  The second camera is above my workspace so my hands and drawings are clearly visible.  As we work together, I offer feedback and tips.  Our private sewing lesson wraps up with share time.  I share ideas to extend learning through practice before we say goodbye.

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!

Parental Guidance
Because sewing involves sharp needles and scissors, I suggest an adult is nearby while students are sewing.
