FAQ

Age Requirements

Our classes are catered for all skill levels, 7 to 13 years old. We begin with our introductory class, The Art of Hand Sewing. This class helps them develop focus, coordination, and confidence in a calm, hands-on way. Machine sewing & Doll Making is generally introduced from 8 years old, once these foundational skills are in place. Some children may be ready to start machine sewing/doll making earlier than others, and we assess readiness based on focus, ability, and comfort level to ensure a positive and safe learning experience.

If a child is of an older age (9+) they could start the other classes without finishing The Art of Hand Sewing, although we do recommend.

Previous Sewing Experience

We require no previous experience in sewing. We only require to start with our introductory class The Art of Hand Sewing. If a child is of an older age (9+) they could start the other classes without finishing The Art of Hand Sewing, although we do recommend.
