Home School & After School Program

How Our Children’s Sewing Classes Work
Our children’s sewing classes are designed to build confidence, creativity and strong sewing skills in a supportive, at-your-own-pace environment.

Tuition Fee
Classes are offered on a tuition basis, which secures your child’s place in the class and covers ongoing instruction, guidance and skill development.

Learning Path & Skill Progression
Children who have never sewn before begin with hand sewing. This allows them to develop essential foundations such as fine motor skills, familiarity with materials and basic techniques.

From there, students progress through the Miss Mary method of learning to sew, completing a series of required projects designed to build skills in a logical, step-by-step way. These foundational projects must be completed before students move on to projects of their own choosing. If a child has already completed one of the projects in the school holiday program then they will just continue on with the next project.

The typical progression includes:
Hand sewing
Bunting
Quilted cushion
Fabric basket
Shirred Skirt & Scrunchie
Robe
Overnight Tote Bag

Project Fees
In addition to tuition, there is a project fee for each project, which covers the cost of materials. Once the child has completed the required projects they are free to make whatever is of interest to them. This can include quilts, dresses, pattern making

Learning at Their Own Pace
Children progress at their own pace. A project may take approximately three to six weeks, depending on the child. This flexible approach ensures skills are learned thoroughly and confidently, without pressure to rush.

Our goal is to create a positive learning experience where children develop practical skills, patience and pride in their work while enjoying the creative process.

Requirements
From age 6 - 17. No sewing experience required.

If you are not sure if your child will love it before committing, please enrol into a holiday class as we do not offer trial lessons. Alternatively please contact Kelly to arrange to meet her and see the sewing studio, this can help with any anxiety the child may have when trying something new.
