Kris Zerby's Sewing School for Kids
303 Nittany Valley Drive, Bellefonte
I teach children's sewing lessons at Jo-Ann Fabrics in State College and also in my home in Bellefonte. Children from ages 6 and up learn the basics of sewing machine operation and safety, how to choose appropriate project materials, and then create crafts and clothing of their own design, eventually presenting their completed projects in our annual Fashion Show. Sewing is fun, builds self-esteem, and teaches organizational and problem-solving skills. I provide sewing machines and all equipment required...kids need only bring their materials, and most importantly - their natural enthusiasm!
