Sew Inspired

Help me give my students the sewing supplies and tools they need to be successful this year in our Fashion Design 1 and 2 classes.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Anderson's classroom raised $819

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are excited to learn the art of sewing, but our classroom needs some essential supplies to bring their skills to life. With your support, I can purchase a variety of sewing patterns to inspire them, Fiskars shears for precise fabric cutting, and a selection of essential notions that we are short on. These resources will empower my students to develop fine motor skills, and gain valuable life skills through hands-on sewing projects.

Through sewing, my students will develop a wide range of skills including patience, perseverance, and problem-solving as they tackle sewing challenges.

Fine motor skills will improve as they handle and manipulate the fabrics. Additionally, sewing fosters creativity, imagination, and an appreciation for design.
