2025 MARCH BREAK YOUTH SEWING (ages 9+) Day 3: Clear/Mesh Zipper Pouch
Sewing is back in style! Get youth (ages 9+) interested in the creative art of sewing in this full-day workshop conveniently held during March Break. Students will learn basic machine sewing methods, learn safe fabric cutting techniques & have fun selecting fabric for their projects!
Demos of different types of machines, sewing techniques and small projects will be mixed in throughout the day.
On Day 3 of our March Break series, students will create a zippered pouch to store art supplies, makeup, sewing tools, etc. They can choose to have an open mesh section or a clear vinyl section.
In the morning, students will select their fabric and zipper colours and complete the layout and cutting stages. In the afternoon we'll move on to constructing the bag using the serger. YES - students will learn to install a zipper on this project!
Thursday, March 13, 10:00am - 5:00pm
The daily schedule includes a morning snack break, lunch break and afternoon snack break. Please ensure students are sent with an appropriate amount of food for the day. We have a microwave for heating up lunches, and filtered water available all day. NOTE: This is a peanut free environment.
