I used to hesitate to create online courses for children as I thought it would have to involve the parents too much, the kids might loose interest or not see the relevance of sewing as a skill in our modern age.

That was until I asked some children and their parents to test out the idea … and I was amazed by the results, the enthusiasm, the excitement with which the children completed the course and were hungry for more, to move on to the BTHQ adult courses!

One thing I hadn’t thought of is how eco conscious our kids are these days … the appeal of throw away fashion vs creating something from nothing or reusing fabric from other sources really appeals to a lot of children who want a different, better future for our planet … learning to sew … to reuse, repurpose, recycle fashion and fabrics is a great way to encourage and support your child and generations to come in helping forge a sustainable future for the planet they will inherit.

I am so proud of the new Kids sewing 101 course. Those who have already completed it have done amazing things and it’s not just their sewing that has improved … it’s their self confidence, their sense of who they are and what they can achieve and their imagination about the next thing they want to make!

If you want to find out more then head to our website (link in the bio) and search kids 101. It's instant access and suitable for total beginners.

When you find the time. Prep!!

Got a fabric you love and know what it's destined to be turned into?

Cut it out ASAP.

You're more likely to actually sew it together if the boring bits done already.

Find a spot more time......mark your darts and do any interfacing.

I have a whole basket of cut projects ready to go. That way when I have some sewing time I can take my pick and its all good to go.

Zip up your project in a wallet with any zips, threads and buttons all together with the pattern and instructions.

You can thank me later

If you read the instuctions for the @closetcorepatterns pouff it specifically tells you to wear your pouff on your head before stuffing.

What kind of teacher would I be if I didnt get my pupils to follow the instructions?
