Growing kids' creativity and confidence through the art of sewing!
The School of StitchCraft is conveniently located in West Orange, NJ. We welcome students of all levels, offering a variety of formats to best meet their individual needs.
Why Sewing?
As a middle school teacher for the last 20 years, I am well-attuned to the needs of children and adolescents. Sewing provides students with skills and habits that will serve them well in all aspects of their lives, such as:
-
Problem-solving
-
Patience
-
Hand-eye coordination and dexterity
-
Following directions carefully
-
A creative outlet
-
A practical skill
-
An appreciation for craftsmanship in our fast-paced, fast-fashion world.
And it's REALLY fun!
