The perfect Sewing Class to start making your own garments and accessories!

Calling all young sewing enthusiasts!

Our Teens Sewing Classes are the perfect place to start your sewing journey or to practice, learn new techniques and make new friendships!

We like to make our projects fun and engaging and adapt to students whenever needed. Students work at their own pace and are encouraged to anchor their knowledge rather than trying to catch up with the rest of the class. 

We aim at finishing all projects during the term.

Classes are tailored for children aged 12 yo +.
