Fun with Sewing 7/7-11 Week 3
Youth Class | Registration opens 3/27/2025 8:00 PM EDT
Create, stitch, and bring your ideas to life with fun sewing projects like stuffed animals, pillows, and custom designs for clothing. Whether you’re fixing a button, patching up your favorite hoodie, or making fun stuff like a stuffed animal or a cool tote bag, sewing is both useful and creative. In this adventure, students will learn all the basics—stitching, embroidery, and even how to use a sewing machine. Let’s get stitching and bring your ideas to life!
- Reduced tuition on youth classes requires a family membership. For a full-day program, a morning class may be combined with an afternoon class. Supervised "bridge" care is available for these students, between 12-1PM, for an additional $40 per week.
