Lately there have been several family duos (and even trios) signing up for sewing classes together. It’s such a nice thing to see! A sewing class is not only about learning a new skill; it can be about family bonding. By learning together, you can strengthen your relationships and build a closeness over a fun shared experience. Your sense of accomplishment in creating something along side someone you love can be a lovely thing to reminisce about down the road. My first sewing memory is with my grandmother. She was so patient and kind with me when I would ask her questions about all of the tools that you need to sew. We did some hand sewing together to repair my teddy bear and I cherish that memory very much.

I recently had a mother and daughter come make some pajama pants together. They enjoyed it so much they decided to take their newfound skill home and make some PJs for the rest of their family. This shared interest then carries over into their home life and they have a whole new topic to discuss and be curious about together.

In another class, there are brothers learning to sew and they decide on projects together. They use the classes as a source of inspiration because their late mother was a sewist. They wanted to honor that by learning to sew themselves.

There have even been grandmothers and grandkids who have wanted to share special time together, so why not make memories through sewing! You can take a painting class together, why not a sewing class? You can spend time with your loved ones, all while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere that the Sewing Hive offers. So if you are thinking of new things to try… bring someone along and learn together. We would be happy to customize your class to your needs.
