We recommend no younger than 7 years old, though our summer camps are adapted for even younger kids. Our goal is for kids to have fun and a good prerequisite to look for, not just in terms of interest, is their fine motor skills - kids need to have the dexterity to tie their own shoelaces. Kids classes are 1-2 hours, and though there is room for some free play, it can be a long haul after a day of school. Kids who are inclined to sit still and make things will have an easier time and enjoy sewing lessons more than the kids who need some time to move their bodies. Wiggly kids may prefer summer camps since they will not be at the end of a long school day of sitting. We love hanging out with your kids but would like to emphasize that sewing lessons are not just for after-school childcare, as our spaces are limited :)
Our focus in working with young kids is supporting creative expression, development in fine motor skills and exploring fabric. The older kids get the more detailed and precise their sewing will become.
