Little Stitch Studio is a fashion program that teaches kids and teens sewing and fashion design throughout the school year and summer. Through hands-on learning, children are introduced to the world of fashion.
Classes combine the practical skill of sewing with pattern making, draping, textile science, illustration and fashion history to enable young designers to discover the joy and excitement of creating something with their own two hands.
Class begins with an introduction on how to use a sewing machine, our machines are equipped with speed control for a safe and fun environment. Students begin their first project during their first class. Throughout the course they learn how to thread the sewing machine, properly cut fabric, and use child-friendly patterns to make 2-3 fashionable items during their class.*
Each child works on their project at their own pace. With a student/teacher ratio is 5:1, there is lots of guidance. The studio has six sewing stations for a class of five students.
Projects progress in difficulty to build your child's sewing skills and change each season so that students can continue to sew and learn. I focus on trendy pieces that can be worn such as handbags, tops, skirts, pants and dresses.
*PROJECT COMPLETION
While I do my best to ensure the kids projects are completed in a 6-week timeframe, sometimes that is not possible. If a student will not be continuing to the next session, I will do my best to help them complete their current project. However, it is ultimately up to the student how they choose to spend their class time.
NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION
Priority registration is given to current students. Sometimes it looks as if there is space available in a class, but it might be that current students have not yet renewed. If you are a new family looking to register for a weekly class, it is best to email me first. Thank you for your understanding!
WAITLIST
If the class is full, please send me an email if you would like to be added to the waitlist.
Missing classes? One make-up class per student can be accommodated during each session.
Thank you so much for your business and placing your child in our care!
