CHILDREN'S BEGINNING SEWING CLASS (Session 1)

Child Sewing Class: Pillowcase Project

This class will be two sessions 3-22-25 & 3-29-25 $30.00 each

Objective:
In this class, children will learn the basics of machine sewing by creating their own pillowcase. They will be guided through the process of measuring, cutting fabric, and sewing the pieces together.

Materials Needed:

1 yard of fabric basic color and 1/3 of a yard coordinating fabric
Sewing machine
Scissors
Pins
Measuring tape or ruler
Fabric chalk or a pencil (for marking)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Introduction to Sewing Tools:

Show the children the basic sewing tools: scissors, thread, pins, needles, fabric, and the sewing machine.
Explain how each tool is used.
Demonstrate basic safety (handling scissors, needles, and sewing machines carefully).

2. Preparing the Fabric:

Step 1: We will have the children choose their fabric. They can pick fun patterns or solid colors they like.
Step 2: We will Measure the fabric for a standard pillowcase (20″ x 30″ pillow)

3. Cutting the Fabric:

We will help the children carefully cut along the lines using fabric scissors.
Make sure the edges are straight and clean.

4. Sewing the Hem:

Machine Sewing: We will set the sewing machine to a straight stitch.

5. Assembling the Pillowcase:

Step 1: Fold the fabric in half so that the right sides are facing each other
Step 2: Pin along the side and bottom edges of the fabric.
Step 3: Using a sewing machine or hand-sewing, sew along the pinned edges, leaving about a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Make sure to leave the top open.
Step 4: Trim the corners to remove excess fabric and make the corners pointy.

6. Turning the Pillowcase Right Side Out:

Turn the pillowcase inside out so that the seams are on the inside and the pretty fabric is on the outside. You can use a pencil or a chopstick to gently push out the corners.

7. Pressing and Final Touches:

Press the entire pillowcase with an iron to smooth out any wrinkles.
If there are any loose threads, trim them off for a neat finish.

8. Enjoy Your Pillowcase!

Let the children put their pillowcases on pillows and take them home!
