In this engaging sewing and fashion design class, children will explore their creativity while learning basic sewing techniques and fashion design concepts. Through fun, hands-on projects, they will work with fabrics, colors, and textures, developing their fine motor skills and artistic expression. Younger children will start with simple, no-sew projects like decorating paper dolls with fabric clothing and making clothing for dolls & teddy bears with the help of the teachers, while older kids will learn basic stitches, create accessories & toys, and design wearable items like skirts or and tops. As they progress, students will build confidence, discover their unique style, and take pride in their custom creations.
