Kids Sewing Day - Make a Backpack

Drop your child or teen off for a one day kids sewing experience designed to teach the basics of machine sewing. This is the perfect workshop to build confidence and skills along with learning essential troubleshooting techniques.

Here, our experienced sewing tutor Lauren will go through all aspects of the sewing machine including threading and setting up, different stitches, applique, and making and joining pieces of a simple pattern. Your child will then make their own lined drawstring backpack with either an outside pocket or appliqué design.

We will have two breaks throughout the day and all drinks are provided, however we do not provide lunch. If your child has any allergies, addition needs, or if there is anything we need to know in preparation for the day please let us know on booking.

For 9yr olds+, max 6 students. Class runs from 10am-3:30pm and includes materials, machine and sewing kit hire. If your child has their own machine they would prefer to use they are welcome to bring it. This is a drop-off course but a carer may stay if that works better with your child. Just let us know so we can plan the layout.
