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 individualized attention to help them make their creative visions a reality.
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!

Single Session Workshops
Periodically, there will be single-session workshops at which we will complete an entire project from start to finish. You can find these workshops in the "classes" section of the site.
One-On-One Lessons
Contact me for a one-on-one lesson. Your child can bring a project they would like to complete, or I can help them find something that's just right for them!
