My Project

I teach a sewing class for middle school students that follows the Interior Design and Fashion Design CTE Pathway. I have grades 6-8 in all my classes. We make a variety of different projects.

These fabulous fabrics and supplies are needed so the students can create various projects and develop their sewing skills.

Not only are they learning skills that follow a CTE pathway but they are also learning a life skill that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. I have students who have already purchased sewing machines of their own to use at home to create their own personal projects. Let's keep the inspiration and creativity growing!

Grades 6-8
