Sewing Machines for Students

Help me give my students three sewing machines so they can learn how to sew!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Miller's classroom raised $359

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of the students at our school are special because they learn and show their learning through the arts. Many have asked about sewing and have communicated how they'd like to learn, so they can show their creativity through the creation of an item or piece.

The sewing machines will be used by any and all students in the school that are interested, whether it be in sewing class, free-use during Maker Space, or with help from a teacher.

It will be the students' ideas and creativity that will be expressed in each design.
