Kids Sewing Semester – Intermediate 1 (Fall 2026)
For students who have successfully completed our Beginner 2 Sewing Semester.
Semester Dates: Begins the week of August 24, 2026 and concludes the last week of November 2026.
A minimum of 6 students is required for each class. If enrollment is too low, the class may be canceled.
What Students Will Learn
Intermediate 1 is designed for students who are confident using a sewing machine and are ready to tackle more detailed construction techniques and garment sewing.
Throughout the semester, students will continue building their sewing skills while learning more advanced techniques, including:
- Patchwork piecing
- Creating structured and stabilized 3D projects
- Installing additional types of zippers
- Sewing mitered corners
- Constructing simple garments
- Improving precision, accuracy, and finishing techniques
- Building confidence through more challenging projects
Students continue to work at their own pace while developing new skills and increasing their independence.
Planned Projects
Projects are subject to change based on class progress and material availability.
- Intermediate Machine Skills 1
- Storage pod
- Dog bone neck pillow
- Patchwork boxed zipper pouch

Bonus Project (time permitting):
Every child learns at a different pace, so while we strive to complete 6–8 projects each semester, we cannot guarantee every student will finish every planned project.
