Teens

Learn how to sew and design your own clothes at Making It SewFun for teens ages 13-17. We'll cover all the basics and then progressively move into more advanced techniques. You'll learn. . .

  • how to operate a sewing machine and use workroom equipment
  • how to read and understand sewing instructions
  • how to make pattern alterations 
  • how to insert different types of zippers, and so much more!

New students begin with the Teen Level 1 Workbook, designed for the first-time sewist. Master the basic techniques by practicing foundational skills with simple projects, and then continue to advance your skills as you learn how to use store-bought patterns and make more complex projects. Students can also express their own creativity by redesigning the basic patterns and adding their own details.
