Description
Looking for a unique and engaging activity for the kids this Easter? Join our Easter-themed sewing workshop—a perfect opportunity for your child to explore their creativity while learning the basics of sewing in a fun, supportive setting.
What They’ll Learn:
- How to sew on high-quality studio sewing machines (pre-set for easy use):
- how to sew different types of stitches
- how to sew a beautiful straight seam, with back stitching at beginning and end to secure the stitches
- how to pivot and sew corners
- how to make a lined project!
- An introduction to simple hand sewing stitches, using needle and embroidery thread
- Skills like pinning, cutting with scissors, and working with basic sewing tools.
While the machines will be set up and ready to go, this workshop is about trying sewing rather than learning the full ins and outs of machine setup. Ironing will be done by the teacher for safety, but your child will get hands-on experience with all other aspects of the project.
The Project:
We will be making adorable Easter Bunny treat bags! Please scroll through the photos above to see examples.
This cute bunny bag is fully lined and has big floppy ears that you tie together to keep all your Easter treats safe. We shall have a go at hand stitching on the sweet face, learning how to do a French Knot for the eyes and a Running Stitch for the nose.
Once the little face is sewn we will turn our fabric into the bag on the sewing machine. The children will have an opportunity to get to grips with using a sewing machine and be given full instruction on how to their flat fabric into a 3-dimentional, fully lined bag!
And every bunny needs a tail, so we will be making pom-poms and sewing them onto the bags at the end of the class!
Why Sewing?
Sewing fosters creativity, builds fine motor skills, and encourages patience and problem-solving. It’s also a wonderful way for kids to express themselves and develop confidence in their abilities—all while having fun!
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- All materials needed to make the project.
- Use of the excellent class sewing machines and all sewing tools required
YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:
- Nothing!
Due to time restrictions it is not possible to bring your own sewing machine to this class.
SKILL LEVEL:
Level 0 – Children do not need to have any previous sewing experience.
This class is strictly suitable for children ages 7 plus only.
All ironing will be done by the teacher but children will be required to use scissors, needle, pins and the sewing machines independently (with guidance from the teacher of course!).
We are very happy for you to leave your children whilst the class is taking place (you will need to complete a Supervision Form upon arrival), but do politely request children are collected promptly at the end of the class.
If your child is a little nervous to take the class alone you are welcome to stay for moral support too (please let me know if you would like to stay during the class).
