This week long class is geared toward children 10-14 that have completed Tweens/Teens Camp - Advanced Beginner Machine Sewing or are already very familiar with machine sewing. This class builds on the basics learned in that class. Use of Granary Sewing machines and tools during class time, and all materials are included in the fee. Children will make a pieced and quilted desk runner with storage pockets and a pillow. The projects are suitable for (and we have fabric for) all genders and ages.

In addition to excellent guidance and instruction, children will receive a project box of their own, patterns for the projects, and the fabric/materials required to complete the projects. Note: Needles, scissors, and irons and may be used in class so very minor injuries are possible. Children are supervised at all times and we go over all safety rules at the beginning of each session. We expect children to have good listening skills, good self-control, and the ability to follow directions. Rotary cutters will be used in this class; again we expect children to be able to follow directions and have good self-control.

During class they will learn how to read quilting patterns, measure and cut with a rotary cutter/ruler/mat, and use special cutting templates. Students will learn how to piece different shapes and blocks together, assemble pockets, and turn and finish the desk runner. They will learn how to assemble and quilt a pieced panel for the pillow and make a pocket-style backing to hold the pillow form. Other projects will be offered based on the child's skill level.

Since students work at their own pace, some may not completely finish all their projects during class time, but they can take their project patterns and materials home with their sewing tool kit. They will need sharp fabric scissors and a sewing machine to finish the projects at home.

CLASS TIMES: Meets for five consecutive days, for 3 hours a day -  Includes a 15 minute snack break each day. Bring a snack and a drink. If your child tends to get cold, please send them with a sweater.

Children are supervised at all times. Class sizes vary from 4-14 students (1-2 instructors). We use standard adult tools and some are sharp. Children will receive a pair of pointed, sharp thread-snips in their sewing tool kit in addition to pins and needles to take home.

Parents cannot attend class or wait inside the shop for kids in class. 

Children may attend multiple sessions of this class.
