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!

 

Why the School of StitchCraft?

At the School of StitchCraft, students will find:

  • A highly experienced teacher who understands the needs of children and adolescents, and has a passion for all things sewing.

  • A supportive environment that nurtures the whole child.

  • Small class sizes to ensure that students learn basic sewing skills and also have the freedom and support to make creations of their choice.

  • Dedication to the success and growth of all students.

  • A relaxing atmosphere with lots of laughter, and some pretty good music!
