Wednesday Early Release Machine Sewing

Service Description

Grades: 1st and up! Welcome to LHC’s Machine Sewing class, designed specifically for students of all skill levels! Whether you’re brand new to machine sewing or already have experience, this class is for you. All students begin with a comprehensive safety overview covering essential machine protocols. New students will complete our beginner sewing curriculum, while more experienced students build on their existing skills and take their sewing abilities to the next level. Machine sewing is an exciting, hands-on experience. Each student will be learning how to safely use our heavy-duty sewing machines. This requires focus, fine motor coordination, patience, and care. Instructors support students as they problem-solve, practice safe habits, and build confidence, resilience, and independence through their work. This class is student-led, and students advance at their own pace. After the beginner sewing students learn to use our machines, they will need to complete two pre-requisite projects before being given full autonomy over the projects they choose. Projects may include backpacks, clothing, accessories, bags, games, and stuffed animals, and are swapped out every session. This is our most popular and inclusive class, where creativity truly knows no bounds. *For all new sewers, the first class of the camp is mandatory; please contact Chelsea Cook if your child is unable to attend. *
