These teen sewing classes are designed for teens between 10 to 18 years old who want to get immersed in the amazing and fun world of fashion and sewing. Teens do not require previous sewing experience.
All proceeds from EcoEquitable's public sewing courses go towards our mission of empowering women with sewing skills and building connection and community; and supporting our local circular economy by redistributing fabric and sewing tools. We thank you for joining and supporting us!

About your Instructor: Bonjour, I am your quintessential French Canadian MamanOurs of four that loves her family and everything granola (reusing, sewing, repurposing, second-hand everything, etc.). I sew with a purpose and sew for community! I offer French, English and Bilingual courses, have been sewing for over thirty years, and returned to sewing after post-secondary education and having kids. I recently created the Teen Sewing Series after the pandemic as there was a need for courses in this age-group!
