Class Experience

Welcome to this unique sewing class where students will learn about sustainable fashion and upcycling! In the days ahead, your child will be able to reclaim their clothes, revamp them and have a new purpose for them. Yes! Most of the projects will utilize your child's clothes from their very own closet or drawers. The other projects will require the purchase of fabric. We will take our time and learn step by step how to sew the various projects. 

**There must be at least 3 students signed up for this class to take place**
**I offer discounts for siblings taking the class together**

Learning Goals
