History
The A+ Sewing School was founded on March 15, 2004 by Sarah Nunziata who had a strong desire to give children something that was lacking in their lives, the ability to create something that they could proudly display or wear. After a while, adults started asking for lessons, so the adult program was added.
Specialties
The sewing lessons are in my home. Please do not drop in without an appointment. I teach kids ages 9 - 18 how to sew. I have an 8-week beginner class for kids, all supplies are included. I can teach up to 3 students at a time, that is all I have room for. Each class is 2 hours and $40. Kids learn how to use the sewing machine, we have Singer Confidence models, they make a pillow, apron, tote with 2 pockets, and a pair of elastic-waist pants. After the 8-week beginner class, the kids can make a dress and learn new sewing skills. For adults, they start with 4 classes and make a pair of elastic-waist pants, then move on to making a dress. Students can keep sewing as long as they are able, some have been coming here for 5 years. We have fashion shows, free learning events, and we are in the Memorial Day Parade. Learn to sew, it's an empowering life time skill. It's lots of fun, too. It has meditative qualities.
