Are Private Sewing Lessons Better for You or Your Child?

By Jan Britt

Sewing is coming back thanks to the sewing design show on HGTV. Sewing is a good thing for children to learn. It allows them to be able to release their creativity. Both children and adult feel such a feeling of satisfaction when they have completed their sewing project. It is great for the self-esteem too! Learning
how to sewing might just be the most satisfying skill you have ever learned.
There is no limit to what you can design and create. Think of the money you can
save by sewing all of the Home Decor needs that you have within your home! Or,
sew original projects and give them as gifts and to be able to sell them to
others.

I have been a sewing instructor and Window Treatment Specialist for many years.
In my experience some adults and children fit great into a sewing class. They
enjoy the group setting and are excited to share their projects with others in
their class. Sometimes great friendships are established in a sewing class! There is
a negative side to attending a sewing class too. I have found that some adults
and children learn so quickly that they get bored waiting for the other
students in the class to catch up with what they have finished five minutes
ago. Most of the time, the sewing teacher will show the students the first step
to do to create the project that they are all making. After all of the students
have completed that step it will be time to move onto the next step. Some
students catch on to sewing so quickly they are excited about their
accomplishments and want to continue on to the next step of the sewing project
immediately. They get so frustrated that they have to wait on others to finish
that they do not want to go back to the sewing class anymore. That same student
may never know how talented they really are because they were not in the right
learning environment. She/he is the perfect person for private sewing lessons.
The student has the opportunity to learn and accomplish as fast OR as slow as
they want to. It is awesome to see my sewing student smiling as she/he
accomplishes each step of the project she/he is working on. Another great thing
about attending private sewing lessons is the student is allowed to choose the
project they would like to make.

Some adults or parents have shied away from private sewing lessons because they
think they are too expensive. They really are not as expensive as you think
they are. Knowing that you or your child will have a better chance of sticking
to sewing because of the individual attention you will receive is worth the
money. Plus, you will love the smile on your face when you are learning the
creative skill of your choice!
