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.
