Design and Sew a Drawstring Backpack Ages 8 -16 years YORK
Description
This is a lovely sewing workshop for children who would like to learn to sew. We show them how to use a sewing machine to create a fantastic drawstring backpack. Perfect for day trips and carrying important belongings. They will learn how to make seams and hems, thread the cord and assemble their bag. They will be shown how to safely use a sewing machine and learn skills for life. There are lots of fabrics to choose from. No experience required. Please note, your child will use a sewing machine in this session (this has been risk assessed with appropriate tools for age). Please send your child with a drink/snack (no nuts please). This is normally a child-only session. Drop off and pick up is at the start and end times given. However, if you feel you child would benefit from support in the session, a supervising adult/parent can be present.

FAQs
It depends on the session - please read the course listing. As a general rule, courses advertised for ages 8 years + will be a drop off and collect, although we do allow parents to stay if they feel their child would benefit from this. For courses aged 5 - 8 we usually require a parent or adult to stay with the child as this will likely be a family session.
