SEW Much Fun!

Andover DCS is offering sewing programs for all ages with instructor Carrie Midura during this Winters/Spring.

Midura owns the company Carrie & Fitz Sewing and has been sewing professionally, and as hobby, for 25+ years. She has taught classes and all ages throughout New England.

For those who do not own a sewing machine, and whom want to try out sewing before taking a full program, DCS is offering one-day workshops that are all part of the “Make it SEW Yours Workshop” series. During these programs, kids will spend two-hours (1:30-3:30 pm) hand-stitching and trimming special sewing projects. These projects will all be unique to each child’s specifications. There is no experience or sewing machines necessary, and each workshop will have a different focus.

To kick off the fun on Friday, January 29th, the group will make a pair of fleece mittens and a scarf. On Friday, March 11th each registered participant will make a personalized banner to take home, and finally on Friday, May 13th the kids will design a t-shirt in the program.

For those whom want to try out sewing on a machine, DCS is also offering two extended sewing programs for kids and adults that run weekly.

The kids offering is a “Learn to Sew!” beginner course that runs for 4 weeks and will focus on the basics of operating a sewing machine will working on special projects. Also available as a combined parent & child(ren) course is “Learn to Sew Together”, a beginner sewing program where both parent and child will learn the basics of sewing while creating a matching pair of pajama pants.

Adults can also “Sew Your Own Laptop Bag” in a grown up version of the “Learn to Sew” course. This six-week program will help participants practice and improve on their current sewing machine skills while they craft a study and customized laptop bag!

All these programs require pre-registration and space is limited. Program & registration information can be found at AndoverDCS.com or by calling 978-623-8274.
