Parent-Child Sewing Classes in Montreal
Parent-Child Sewing Classes in Montreal
A moment just for the two of you, with hands busy and screens put away. In this class, you and your child (aged 6+) learn to sew side by side, each at your own pace and each with your own project.
If it's your first time using a machine, you will start with a zippered pouch. It is the perfect project for getting comfortable with the machine, and you’ll walk away with something useful within the first few weeks. After that, it’s time for open projects: a stuffed animal, a bag, pajamas… we help you choose a project adapted to your level. Most duos complete 2 or 3 projects during the session. Depending on the open project chosen, there may be a few finishing touches to do at home.
Participants who already know how to machine sew and those who are beginners are in the same group. Everyone progresses at their own level, with guidance from the instructor.
