My Project

I love my students’ curiosity, creativity, and willingness to try something new. They are eager to explore hands-on projects and take pride in seeing their ideas come to life. Many of them haven’t had the chance to work with sewing before, so this club will open the door to a brand-new skill set.

Each hand sewing kit and additional sewing supplies will give students the tools they need to design, stitch, and create, helping them develop fine motor skills, patience, and problem-solving abilities.

Beyond sewing, they’ll gain confidence, learn to work together, and discover the joy of making something from start to finish. These resources will turn our weekly club into a place where students can express themselves and shine.
