Challenge yourself by creating comfortable garments and accessories in this sewing class.  The instructor will guide you through some frequently-requested projects: a stylish tee (or two), a jersey headband and scrunchie, and cozy socks to use up your scraps.  

Our course offers a safe, fun environment for teens to explore, learn and grow the passion for fashion and sewing. 

This course is designed for young sewists between 12 to 17 years old who want to get immersed in the amazing world of fashion. Teens who register for this course do not need sewing experience.

As always, the safety of the kids, staff and community is our highest priority, all class safety protocols have been restructured to adhere to provincial and Ottawa Public Health guidelines.

 

NOTE: This is a mixed sewing skills class; Beginners and intermediate/advance. The instructor will give  in-class projects according to each participant's sewing skills.
