Online Creative Juniors: Sewing for Kids
Inspire creativity, build confidence, and learn real sewing skills — from the comfort of home!
The Online Creative Juniors: Sewing for Kids course introduces children aged 6+ to the joy of sewing through a step-by-step, self-paced program guided by friendly tutors from the Kent School of Fashion.
Children will learn to use a sewing machine safely, master simple stitches, and complete exciting projects — from a drawstring pouch to a patchwork pillow cover. The course is completely self-paced, allowing families to learn at their own convenience, with tutor support available as needed.
The lessons are taught in the simplest and engaging way to maximise learning for our young designers.
Whether your child dreams of designing clothes, loves making things by hand, or simply enjoys trying new creative skills, this course gives them everything they need to get started — with step-by-step video lessons, downloadable projects, and supportive tutors guiding them along the way.
All lessons are pre-recorded, and a range of fun learning methods are offered, including videos, quizzes, and other creative learning activities. We do know and understand that young people learn in different ways, and we are committed to supporting our young designers to maximise their learning. There is support available for questions and live sessions for young creatives to join in.
What This Course Is About
This is a self-paced online sewing course that teaches children the foundations of machine sewing through six carefully designed modules.
Each module builds on the last — from understanding the sewing machine, to completing real projects like a drawstring pouch, tote bag, and decorative pillow cover.
Children learn through short, engaging video lessons supported by printable worksheets and friendly tutor feedback. They can move at their own pace and repeat lessons as often as they like.

Frequently asked questions
When can my young creative start?
How does the online course work?

What age is this course suitable for?
Younger learners (6–8) may need a little parental supervision during setup, while older children can work independently. The lessons are structured to suit a wide range of learning speeds and abilities.
