SEWing-Fun has been serving the Marblehead area since 2006. A sewing school for children and adults ages 6 and up, SEWing-FUN helps students learn to create all kinds of fun, hands-on projects, everything from a personalized tote bag on day one (to carry all their sewing things) to stuffed animals, pajamas, dresses, gowns, T-shirts, sweatshirts embroidered with flowers, animals, or their own name, blankets, and quilts. Every student leaves with something they made themselves, and that sense of pride is really what it's all about. This is my 20th year sharing my love of sewing in Marblehead, and I'm just as excited about it as I was on day one.
When I opened my school in 2006, my very first students were a Girl Scout troop, and we were off and running. I started with after-school classes, then added a Summer SEWing FUN Program that ends each week with a Fashion FUNway (our own little runway show). We've displayed student creations at the Marblehead Arts Festival for years and have even brought home a few awards. Watching kids walk that runway with something they made with their own hands, there's really nothing like it.
