Sewing lessons are an exciting gift and 9 is a good age for children to start learning. Sewing helps children develop life skills, improve cognitive abilities, fine motor coordination and self-esteem. It also happens to be a great creative outlet and a lot of fun!

Most projects are completed in a single session and increase in difficulty as the program progresses. This allows students to build their skills and it is exciting for them to take their work home as soon as it is finished. The final 2 classes are usually spent making a string backpack, but it varies depending on student interest.
