Over Christmas break I hosted my first kid’s sewing class.  It was a Cinch Sack class with FIVE girls ages 7-9.  We had such a good time!

I learned A LOT during that class.  For example, five girls with zero sewing experience is too many for one me.  Too many distractions, too few stations, too small seam allowances and too many broken sewing machines!  By the end of the class I was down to one functional machine, my old trusty Kenmore I’ve had for at least 15 years.  I’ve since gone back to try and fix a few of the new machines, but one for sure is going back, maybe more if they don’t cooperate.

I just love these little cinch sacks!  They’re a breeze to sew, a great start to finish project for beginner sewists.  I wish I had a picture of all the girls in their packs, but we went so far over time people were leaving when they got done.

I will be hosting this class again, so don’t feel sad if you missed out!  Check back for updated classes and follow Sara Says Sew on Facebook!
