Sewing Parties for Children   

Children love to be creative   

Sewing is Fun

• Children’s parties with a difference!
• Sewing projects for that special day.
• Sewing is relaxing and fun.
• All the children get to make something special to take home.

The projects depend on what kind of things the host would like to do. Everyone completes a sewing project to take home. Every project is designed to be attractive and useful. The children are encouraged to show their individual creativity and imagination with a choice of different fabrics, colours and embellishments where possible.

• We cater for children aged 7-10
• We also cater for children aged 11+ with different projects for each group.
• Projects include hair accessories
• tote bags
• decorating T-shirts
• decorating tote bags
• cushions
• and lots of other ideas

Every child will leave with what they have made and there will be a special gift for the party person.  Prices for the Sewing Parties are £120 for up to 6 children and £10 for each additional child maximum 10 children. All tools and materials are included in the price so there are no hidden costs!

We will be pleased to discuss your exact requirements.

 After School Sewing and Dressmaking Course

The first sewing workshops for 7-10 year olds  that took place at the Birmingham School of Sewing in October were a great success and due to popular demand we have decided to offer after school sewing clubs, school holiday workshops and sewing parties for children.

The After School Sewing Club will take place during term time with a wide variety of projects to make.

For age 7-10  each session will be from will be from 4-5.30
Date:   3 Tuesdays:   Tuesday 17th January, Tuesday 24th January and Tuesday 31st January 2012
Time:  4.00pm-5.30pm Cost:   £45 for 3 sessions. 

Fashion Design Course (age 11-19)

These workshops are aimed at budding  fashion designers.  The workshops are for teenagers who want to learn how to make their own clothing and as a taster for career minded students wishing to make a career in design and fashion.   You will learn to use sewing machines and overlockers  to create clothing and accessories for yourselves. Using patterns students will create various projects. Our budding designers are given free reign to stylize and decorate their creations they make with machine embroidery, hand embroidery, fabric paint, ribbons and trims making their products truly unique.   At the end of the course we will organise a fashion show for parents and friends.

Starting February 2012

Children love being creative and making things.  I have been asked by many of my clients if I will teach their children or grandchildren to sew.  After much thought I have decided to offer taster sessions for children to come along for one hour to learn how to sew Christmas decorations.  The sessions only cost £7 and there is a cup of tea or coffee available for the mum or grandmother who brings the child along.  The projects are suitable for 7 years to teenagers.  Come along and join us on Tuesday 20th December.

The first session is from 11.30am-12.30

and the second session is from 12.45-1.45pm

Location: Birmingham School of Sewing, 960 Bristol Road South, Northfield,                       Birmingham B31 2PE

Cost: £7 per session per child
