Class Experience

Get ready for a festive blend of creativity and storytelling! In Stitching & Stories: Christmas Sewing Fun, your child will create a charming Christmas project using yarn and burlap—perfect for beginners and young crafters. As we sew, we’ll enjoy the magical holiday tale The Tailor of Gloucester by Beatrix Potter, following the adventures of clever mice and the true spirit of Christmas.

This class offers the perfect opportunity for students to develop fine motor skills, patience, and creativity through hands-on sewing while also fostering a love for reading and literature. With no prior sewing experience required, this class is an excellent introduction to crafting while celebrating the holiday season with warmth and cheer!

Join us for a fun, heartwarming time as we stitch, create, and bring the story to life! 🎄✨

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This class involves basic hand sewing techniques using yarn and burlap, which are safe and appropriate for young crafters. While the story The Tailor of Gloucester is a heartwarming holiday tale, it contains some moments of mild tension, such as the mice facing challenges and the tailor struggling with his illness. These elements are designed to promote empathy and understanding. Parents are encouraged to review the story if they have concerns about sensitive themes. No prior sewing experience is required, and all materials are safe for children.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
My name is Kailee Trippett and I taught 2nd grade for 7 years. I love teaching strategies and tools to help students become confident and successful readers, writers, and mathematicians. While I offer many 2nd-grade core classes, I also offer some fun supplemental classes. I have taught theatre, music and drama for 2 years, and enjoy those subjects as well. I can't wait to meet your learner and see them grow!
