Michael was so much help! He taught me about certain stitches and patterns that I will use going forward. I had so many questions for him about a pattern that I was making, and he answered them all and explained some of the more complex techniques. I'll definitely see Michael again on my next pattern.

In my experience, teaching young people how to sew their projects has been a fun and rewarding experience. As the world becomes more focused on technology, it's important to introduce young people to the art of sewing. Sewing is not only a valuable life skill, but it also promotes creativity, patience, and a sense of accomplishment. When I teach young people how to sew, it's amazing to see their eyes light up with excitement as they learn to design and create their own clothing, accessories, and home decor items. Sewing also provides an opportunity to bond and spend quality time together while teaching them a valuable skill. What I love about sewing is that it is not just practical, but it is also a therapeutic activity. The process of sewing requires focus and concentration, which can help young people relax and reduce stress. It also builds self-esteem and a sense of confidence as they learn to create something with their own two hands. Overall, I believe that teaching young people how to sew is a worthwhile endeavor that can have a positive impact on their lives. Whether it's through after-school programs, summer camps, or at-home projects, introducing young people to the world of sewing can be a fun and rewarding experience for both the students and myself.
