Homeschool Sewing Classes

2023/24 Weekly Class Schedule

Weekly homeschool sewing classes are a fun extra-curricular activity that reinforces skills such as problem solving, reading comprehension, math, and more. In weekly classes, sewists will learn to sew using the world renowned curriculum by Kids Can Sew. Starting with the basics, sewists progress in their skills and sewing knowledge as they work through the pattern workbooks. They will learn how to read and understand written instructions, pattern layout, and how to safely operate a sewing machine.


Classes start September and run through May 24th 2024

Tuition & Fees

Yearly Registration fee:
$60

Monthly Tuition:
$120

All supplies are included for those students working in the Kids Can Sew workbooks. Students working in commercial patterns will need to provide their own supplies.

Tuition is based upon an average of 3 classes per month throughout the school year (September-May).
You are not charged extra for months with 4 or 5 classes. The extra classes are built in as make up days for times when I need to cancel class due to weather, sickness, emergencies, or any other events that may require me to cancel class.

No classes will be held on the following days:

Labor Day: Sept 4
Halloween: Oct 31

Although I don't anticipate any changes to this schedule, occasionally changes do occur. Classes & holidays somewhat follow the CCISD schedule.

Monthly Make & Take Homeschool Classes

Make & Take Homeschool Classes are offered on select Mondays & Fridays from 12:00 - 2:00. Kids can come make a project and learn basic sewing skill while having fun learning how to sew. Make & Take classes are craft projects only. Clothing projects are only offered in weekly classes.

There is no yearly registration fee for Make & Take Classes, but there is a $15 charge for first time sewists. First time sewists will need to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of class the first time they attend. Make & Take classes do not follow a curriculum.

Progression: Students start in Level 1 and progress to the next level. Once level 3 is completed, they will have graduated from the Kids Can Sew program and will continue into simple commercial patterns. The fundamentals they learn in the workbooks will prepare each sewist for commercial patterns and give them a solid sewing foundation for life.
