Burlington | Homeschoolers | Fall Sewing Program | Grades 2+
A Fall Season of Sewing!
Available spots
Service Description
Wednesdays | 2:00 to 3:30 pm | October 7 to December 16 Community Room at Whidbey Coffee, Burlington | Grades 2 to 12 A real, hands on sewing elective built for homeschool life. No patterns, no worksheets. Just fabric, a machine, and a project your student actually chooses. Every Fall, homeschool students in grades 2 to 12 meet Wednesday afternoons in the Community Room at Whidbey Coffee in Burlington for a class built around real skill building, not busywork. Younger students start with fundamentals: first stitches, simple bags, their first zipper. Older students move into more advanced builds: garment construction, alterations, and custom accessories. Everyone works at their own machine, on their own project, at their own pace, so a second grader and a high schooler can both be in the room at the same time, each exactly as challenged as they need to be. This is a true homeschool friendly option: a daytime slot that fits into a homeschool schedule, real transferable skills (measuring, cutting, problem solving, following a project through to completion), and a small group setting where students get real one on one guidance instead of a lecture. It's hands on learning in the truest sense, the kind of class where a phone never comes out because students are too busy building something. Families aren't locked into this time slot, either. If it fits better, students can join our After School Sewing class instead: Mondays, 4:00 to 5:30 pm for grades 2 to 12. Same hands on approach, different day and time. Taught by Stephanie Philbrick, founder of Positively Sewing, a self taught designer with 100+ pieces across 10 collections and 17 fashion shows, now teaching real design and construction skills to the next generation. Includes a sewing machine and all fabric, thread, and notions for every project (bring your own machine if you'd rather). 9 sessions, October through December, scheduled around the Burlington Edison School District calendar. Tuition is 3 monthly payments of $150. Every skill built here is one more reason to make and mend instead of buy and toss. Sign up today and give your homeschooler a real skill they'll carry for life.
