Welcome to Newton Sewing Studio’s Kids’ Beginner Sewing Class!

This is a fantastic opportunity for kids aged 6 and up to dive into the world of sewing.

In this engaging and hands-on class, your child will embark on a sewing journey suitable for both beginners and those with a bit of sewing know-how. It’s a drop-off class, so you can leave your child in our capable hands as they craft their very own four-patch pillows from scratch.

Throughout the course, your child will gain essential skills, such as:

  1. Choosing the Right Fabric: They’ll learn how to pick the perfect fabric for their project.
  2. Measuring and Cutting: Precision is key, and they’ll get the hang of it.
  3. Machine Sewing Basics: They’ll discover the ins and outs of using a sewing machine.
  4. Proper Stuffing Techniques: Creating plush and comfy pillows is all about the stuffing!
  5. Hand-Sewing Skills: They’ll master the art of hand-sewing for those delicate finishing touches.

Rest assured, our experienced instructors will be there every step of the way, offering one-on-one guidance and support.

Plus, we’ve got you covered with all the necessary materials and equipment. No need to worry about shopping for supplies.

Nurture your child’s creativity and boost their confidence by enrolling them in this exciting sewing adventure today! Join us, and let’s sew some memories together.

Class Policies

We uphold a stringent no-show policy to ensure fairness and optimal class experience for all our students. If you fail to attend a class without providing the required 72-hour notice, we are unable to offer a refund or credit for the missed session. This policy is in place to minimize disruptions and financial loss, ensuring that our classes remain viable and rewarding for both students and instructors.

In the event of a no-show, you will need to rebook and pay for a new class at a time that better suits your schedule. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but we encourage all our students to communicate any changes as early as possible to allow others the opportunity to fill the space. This not only supports our community-centric approach but also enhances the learning environment for everyone involved.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining the integrity of our class schedules and the quality of your learning experience.

We understand that delays can happen, but to ensure the quality and continuity of our classes, all students must strive to arrive on time. If you arrive late, you’re welcome to join the class already in progress. However, please note that the class will end as scheduled to respect the time of students scheduled after you and the instructor.  Ask your instructor about booking additional studio time to complete your class.

Credit Card Payments: For cancellations with adequate notice, we’ll issue a refund to your original payment method, minus a 5% processing fee.  Refunds generally take 3 to 5 business days to show in your account.

Store Credit, Coupons, Gift Certificates: Upon timely cancellation, your account will automatically be credited for future classes.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (Youth Sewing Programs)

Absolutely, every class or camp fee includes comprehensive materials and personal assistance. We expect every student might need some help, and our experienced staff is always ready to support your child’s learning journey throughout their projects.

Fear not, regardless of your sewing proficiency, we offer flexible scheduling for our After School Series or Camp Programs. Beginners receive personalized guidance starting with the basics, including threading the sewing machine, sewing straight lines, and crafting a simple patchwork pillow.  And that's just the beginning!

You need only bring your enthusiasm! For sessions extending beyond three hours, consider packing a snack or some change for the vending machines. While we provide all necessary materials, you’re welcome to bring your own sewing machine or materials if you prefer.

Each youth class is at least 90 minutes long, and completing a project within an hour is typically not achievable. However, we offer storage for unfinished projects, allowing you or your child to continue working across multiple sessions. More complex projects will require additional time.

Our focus is primarily on mastering the sewing machine, although we integrate essential hand-sewing techniques for finishing touches. The bulk of our curriculum is dedicated to machine sewing.

Safety is our top priority. While our studio is a bustling environment, we ensure that our sewing machines and tools are child-friendly. Although minor injuries like pin pricks or minor burns can happen, we are prepared with first aid and have maintained a record of safety without serious incidents for over a decade.

Yes, we encourage parents to drop off their children for classes. We find children learn best when they have the space to explore independently. Parents are welcome to stay, particularly if participating in a lesson, but we suggest focusing on your project to foster a positive learning environment for your child.

We offer a wide range of projects suitable for all skill levels. Beginners start with a level 1 project like a patchwork pillow and can progress through more advanced projects at their own pace. We welcome students to bring personal projects once they're comfortable with the basics.

Our classes maintain a cozy atmosphere with no more than six students, ensuring personalized attention, while camps are larger, hosting 15 to 25 students. We offer different classes for adults and kids, and pre-registration is required for all sessions. Despite the size, our teaching approach remains consistent, focusing on project-based learning.

We provide all necessary materials for class projects, which we prefer to be completed in class to ensure the material costs are covered. If you bring your own materials, you're free to take your project home at any stage.

We recommend packing a healthy lunch or snack to keep your child energized throughout their sewing class. They might also bring money to purchase items from our vending machine, which is stocked with somewhat less healthy options. Remember, a well-fed student is a happy and productive learner!

We take allergies very seriously and urge all parents to consider potential allergens when preparing snacks. As our classes may include children with nut allergies, we recommend avoiding nut-based foods if possible. This approach helps ensure a safer environment for everyone. Please treat our classroom as you would any other public space where allergens may be present.

Our Sew and Save page is regularly updated with the latest promotions and discounts available at our studio. We encourage you to visit our website frequently to stay informed about new deals that could enhance your sewing experience. From seasonal offers to special discounts for repeat customers, we aim to provide value while fostering your creative journey.

    My daughter made a doll backpack. Even though it was very small, the details were impressive. I love that she s always so proud of everything she makes because she makes it all herself. She really enjoyed this class and she is happy to have an accessory for her doll made by her.

    My daughter has been going to classes at NSS for about a year, and I think her recent doll sweatshirt is a perfect example of how far she's come. It's amazing to think that my 8-year-old made this herself, and I'm excited to see what's next!

    My daughter has been taking sewing classes for years (and has attended a few camps). She always looks forward to going. She has learned an amazing amount and has been given a lot of freedom to make things of her own choosing. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly. Nothing but good things to say!

    My daughter and I took a beginners class together and it was great. The staff was patient and friendly, the space is cozy and colorful, and we walked away with new skills. Definitely recommended, and we'll be going back.
