Equipment requirements: We encourage your child to bring their sewing machine to class, if this is practical and if they have one! Using one's own machine helps to build confidence with sewing at home without a teacher's guidance. If bringing their machine isn't practical, or they don't have a machine, they are welcome to use one of ours.
Group size: Maximum 6 guests to keep our classes cozy and fun and to ensure each child gets the support they need!
