Up and coming classes

Well hello there,
What a great week. Much cooler, harvesting many tomatoes, and having fun getting ready for my new classes.


I thought I would tell you more about the sewing classes I am teaching. The first camp I had this summer was with 2 of my granddaughters. I needed to practice before I actually taught kids I did not know. My Granddaughter Hallie is 6 and I was so afraid to turn over a sewing machine to her. I followed all the instructions in teaching the first lesson and WOW!! She did great. So did my other granddaughter Madisen (but she is almost 10 . Not as worried about her). They did great! They sewed straight, curves and put in elastic and hand sewed. I was so impressed. And now I cannot turn them off. Madisen lives in the Gig harbor area and Now all she can do is talk about how much she loves to sew and wanting to come back and sew. My other granddaughter Hallie saw I was mending one of her fabric Dog houses and she would not let me do it. I set her up and she did it all by her self. (remember she is 6).
The second camp I did was a great success. By the last class we all did not want it to end. They had time left over and were making other projects with their left over fabric. We were all sad to see it end. I would call that a great success.

The Kids can sew & fashion Design program, is designed for for 6- 16 years of age. Students gain confidence and self-esteem while learning a life skill that is almost lost to young people these days.


Weekly lessons, teach children to sew crafts and useful items and clothing of their own design. The curriculum is just wonderful and is designed to be fun and always with safety in mind. No additional sewing time is required outside of class.


New students are always welcome, but classes are designed to coincide with the school year from September to June, and cost less than music or dance lessons.
My School is in my home in Portland, Oregon in the woodstock area.
