Hey Reader!

I remember being around 5 years old and wanting to make something for my sisters birthday. I went into my baby sisters changing table and grabbed the only fabric I could think of- a flat cloth diaper. You know the kind- the ones that our moms pinned on us with saftey pins the size of forks. Still not sure how those kept anything in 💩...

But I found a needle and bright red thread and got to stitching Happy Birthday and 3 big balloons. My stitches were each about an inch long, and the letters were barely legible, but I remember being so proud; proud to give her something that I made.

It was years later that I re-found the love of sewing I have now, but I wish so badly that I had taken that little spark of pride and kept learning to sew as a child!

If you have a creative child (I'm an advocate that EVERY child is creative!) then they may love to learn to sew! And if you don't feel confident teaching them, or just want a structured course to help you teach them then I'd love to have them join Sewing Camp! I can't imagine where my life may have taken me if I'd started sewing 15 years earlier than I did!

Little ones often struggle to reach the foot pedal comfortably while sitting at the sewing machine, and constantly stretching can lead to frustration (and wobbly stitches!) ​ A simple solution? Place the pedal on a yoga block, sturdy box, or even a stack of books to bring it closer to their feet. This small adjustment can make a big difference in helping kids feel more in control, confident, and comfortable while they sew. ​ Want more tips? Check out Sewing Camp Here

He has been working hard for several weeks to make products to display and sell. He gained so much confidence in sewing through the course, and is still displaying it a year later!" -Chelsea, Beau's mom
