Kids Learn to Sew E-Course
CREATIVE • PRACTICAL • EMPOWERING
“Loved the Kids E course!--- wanted you to see how her first project came out. We're so excited! Thanks for this great course. We're looking forward to starting the tool roll up.”
“My son got a sewing machine for Christmas and I bought the e-course for my daughter, but he ended up using it as a refresher and it was fantastic. It's really well done and well laid out!”
That's up to you! Our after school classes are for ages 8 - 16 so that's who we have in mind when we created this course. However, we've had mature 6 year olds complete it successfully and adults enjoy it as well!
We strongly believe that ANYBODY can sew ANYTHING they like, no matter their gender. That being said, our projects are all "gender neutral".
The videos are yours to watch as often as you need to for the lifetime of the course! There is no set expiration date and you can repeat to your hearts content!
For this course you will need: A sewing machine, basic tools, internet connection to stream the videos and materials. These are not included however you can check out the free Preview Lesson to see what you need or you can purchase a material kit from our studio!
Once again, that's up to you! The course doesn't require adult involvement, however safety is always a priority. We go over safety A LOT in this course, but sadly we can't jump in if your child isn't using the sewing machine or iron in a safe way so it may be a good idea for you to be nearby until they get the hang of it.
Yes! We have over 60 projects in our in-studio project library and will be releasing 25 of them in a curriculum as well as some extra fun projects for different seasons and holidays. This first course will be the only one to offer the essential beginner skills: winding a bobbin, threading a machine, steps of sewing, troubleshooting and many of the resource videos. Join our newsletter at http://www.hartfordstitch.com/keepintouch to keep up to date on the latest video releases!
That's totally up to your child! If your child were to learn how to sew and complete this classes at the studio it would take about 10 hours of class time (this is approximately one of our after school sessions). Of course everyone sews at different rates so your child may take longer or shorter!
