Crafty Creatures

The plusies are precut for each student. Students are guided all the way through the assembly of the plushies. Even though we are completing each project as a class, there is still room for each student to personalize their own plushie, by adding fun detailing or tweaking the design a bit. Please note that each project takes approx 2-3 weeks to finish. Please note that this class will be primarily a hand-sewing class, with a basic intro to sewing machine during the last couple classes. ❤

Junior Fashion Design


Description: This class is a slow paced beginner intro to Fashion Design for TK-2nd grade. We will be working on sewing machines. Some sewing machine experience will greatly benefit the student, but is not required. We will begin the class with an easy project to get everyone familiar with the machines. Then we will begin to work on simple pieces of clothing and simple accessories. There will be some creative freedom that the students will have, however we will be there to guide them on fabric choices and level of difficulty. If they have their own sewing machine, we highly recommend they bring it to class each time so they may get to know their own machine, as it will greatly benefit them in their future sewing endeavors. Please take note that this will be a slow placed class and it will take the students anywhere from 3-5 weeks to finish one piece of clothing.

Doll Making Class


Description: In this class, we will be handsewing dolls for students in grade 2nd-6th grade. Each student will have creative freedom to make their doll unique. We have many patterns available to them for them to work off of, and we can also make a new one if they have something special in mind. Please note that the dolls take 5-6 weeks to finish. After our dolls are finished, we will also be handsewing outfits and/or accessory pieces to make each doll complete. Once their first doll is complete they may start on a second one, making it a sibling doll, or start a different kind of doll using the patterns we provide. This class is designed to work on the same project for several hours and since we only meet weekly, it will take time to finish each project. We want these handmade dolls to last and we encourage the students to put the time in to create a quality doll. Please note that this class will be only a hand-sewing class, which teaches each student hand-sewing skills, embroidery, fine details along with fine motor skills, creativity and patience…learning if they take their time, each student can create a beautiful piece of art! ❤

Beginning Sewing Machine


Description: This class is an introduction to using a sewing machine open to 4th-12th graders. We will first learn the basic components of a sewing machine. Then we will start off the students with very simple projects in order to simply get a handle on operating the machine. After this the students basically have a lot of creative freedom to make simple yet fun projects throughout the semester. Some students want to make stuffed animals, or bags, or pillows, etc. We do provide some materials that we bring each week for students to look through and use. If they have a big project or something specific they want, we request they purchase that material and bring it in so we may guide them through the process. If they have a sewing machine of their own at home we encourage them to bring it to class as it is important to learn your own machine. ❤

Fashion Design Sewing


Description: This class is designed for those interested in fashion design and in grades 4th-12th grade! The student will need to have sewing machine experience to be in this class. We will work primarily on the sewing machines, but we will also be incorporating hand-sewing & small details too! Each student will be finishing a few clothing items &/or accessories for this semester. This class is designed to work on the same project for several hours and since we only meet weekly, it will take time to finish each project. Please note that if they finish a couple outfits in record time, then they will be asked to bring their own materials for that design, however we can still guide them through the process. If they have a sewing machine of their own at home we encourage them to bring it to class as it is important to learn your own machine. We will start the class off with sketching our designs on paper. We will be guiding them through each step, helping them consider, fit, fabric choices, design elements, level of difficulty, etc. We will also help them make their patterns. Then we will start cutting out the pieces and sewing them! By the end of the semester, students will have learned basic intro on pattern making, become more familiar with sewing machine settings, and setting different types of closures (buttons,/zippers/etc.). They will also be working on their fine motor skills and patience as they learn how it takes time to create beautiful art! ❤
