This is one of the easiest courses, so children from 5 years old can handle it with great pleasure. We recommend it for children from 5 to 15 years old. If your child is older, you can safely go to the “adult” course.
On this course children learn to take measurements, build patterns, model different styles of clothing and, of course, sew. However, if your children are closer to 5 years old, not 15, we will still offer them to sew on ready-made patterns, so as not to scare them with unnecessary drafting. In this course, kids will sew clothes for themselves and (if desired) for their parents if they want to make them happy.
By wearing the clothes they have sewn themselves to school, the children get lots of compliments, which inevitably boosts their self-esteem.
Difficulty level:
1 out of 5 – very easy! Beginner level. You can start from scratch. The basics of sewing knitwear on children. The course is so easy that kids can do it! The instructor is always there to help or reassure.
What you will sew during the course:
5 patterns, 5-6 items.
A sweatshirt, dress, t-shirt, golf, leggings or skirt of your choice and a cardigan or beanie. But in the case of a children’s course, the program is always adapted to the child’s request and speed of work (ch he would like to sew; whether he does “homework” at home or does not have time for it, etc.).
Who it’s suitable for:
For kids who dream or want to try their hand at being a designer or mastering the sewing machine. In case your child is interested in the design profession, we would also recommend taking a few individual lessons in fashion illustration to learn how to draw sketches of clothes so that you can create your first collection! And then, there you go, and on to the catwalk.
