Lakeshore School is pleased to offer a NEW Creative Campus after school program, open to ages 8+ up to adult.
This is intended for students (and non-students) who are interested in learning basic machine sewing. We will copy and cut a paper pattern and sew your own pair of pyjama pants in time for winter holidays. It’s a great learning experience for those who want to learn to use a sewing machine, and a great holiday gift idea for sewers who want to surprise someone.
You will be supervised by Ms. Coe, who is a costume designer and technical sewer with over ten years of sewing experience.
