An extract about the class from her site:

Love sewing? Love to teach kids? Love to make money? Turn your passion for sewing into a stream of income with the Seams Sew Cool Program. I created this program 5 years ago and have successfully taught hundreds of kids to sew in my home sewing studio. Learning to sew is sweeping the country, and parents want their kids to learn to sew.

A Guide to Starting a Business Teaching Kids to Sew features a 45 page e-book walking you through how to set up your area and start teaching kids to sew, 13 patterns and written
instructions from the sewing 100 series program to use in the classroom, and 31 videos to teach
you how I teach the Seams Sew Cool Program. New techniques are introduced with each
project so you can teach skills and help the student feel confident one project at a time. The Series 100 patterns are for you to use over and over in your classroom…..no need to keep purchasing patterns for new students!!! In the Sewing 100 series (pattern kits 101, 102, 103), there will be lessons to teach the student for 7 to 9 months (2-hour lesson every other week). Once the 100 series has been completed, the student will move on to the next series.

I am just starting to teach other people to quilt and want to expand my scope. I would love the guidance to help me be more concise and consistent. Thanks for the opportunity!

I am interested in this course because I love working with kids and helping them learn tasks that they don’t always have a chance to learn these days, especially with all the video screens today.

I would love help in teaching children to sew. I have done this already but would love to do it better. Thanks!

As a retired school teacher this really appeals to me. I wish I’d known about this sooner!

I have started to teach kids how to sew and would love to learn more.

I have taught children many things for many years of my life, both in schools and churches, but never taught them sewing. (I did try to teach my daughter but gave up) I have sewed all my life though and would like to pass on the love of sewing to children today.

Becky

I know several people who want their kids to learn to sew. I would love to help a new generation appreciate the art (and fun) of sewing.

Could be a good option for earning some extra money if I could find a place to hold the classes…

I run a craft club at my local primary school with a friend, We have talked about teaching the children to sew and knit (as we both love it) but didn’t know where to start. This would be so cool to put us on the right track

Linda Rupe

This program appears to be very well thought out.

Cassie Simmons

This is something that I think I would enjoy. I used to teach sewing in 4-H when my girls were small. I am teaching my grand daughter to sew and would like to expand to others. This would help direct me in the right way to do that.

Melissa Burford

I’ve taught before but never sewing to kids. I live in a small rural area and have been thinking about doing something like this for a while now. Thanks for the opportunity to win the course!

Awesome idea would love to win!

As a newly retired Gran, this would be a great way to earn few extra dollars while doing something I love. Not enough kids today are learning how to sew these days so it would be an honour to help them. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of this e-book.

I have taught a few kids classes and have a long term student. I like to keep this option open and learn more about getting something going more regularly. There definitely seems to be interest!

Heather @ What Does She Do All Day?

My 5 year old daughter has been asking me to teach her to sew, but I have no idea where to start! This would be great for helping me teach her and eventually others!

Good timing Deby, this would be a great help with the classes I am working on for special needs adults and children!

Janee Connor

This is so time-appropriate for me right now! My schedule recently changed, with the end of an outside job and now more time back in my studio. Adding sewing classes for kids has long been in my plans. I’d love this opportunity!

Kirsten

What perfect timing! I’ve been contemplating opening a sewing classroom business for a few months and this course is just the boost I needed.

Sharon Collins

What a great contest! I have completed training to teach & taught kids to sew but nothing like this was available at that time.

Hmmm, I wonder if this would be adaptable for older teens as well. Perhaps with cell-phone / ipod pockets or something.

Kathy Pakkala

I started sewing very young. Over the years my hubby has blessed me with new equipment and a sewing room. I have thought about teaching younger children to sew, especially my granddaughters, but haven’t put that into action yet. This sound like a wonderful step by step course.

Nicky Walker

Great programme for introducing valuable skills to the next generation.

Terri C

This would be a blessing, a friend and I have talked and dreamed of doing this for several years, she is a wonderful seamstress and I love to quilt. Would put this to good use, thank you for the chance!

I teach adults and children informally in my home and I love teaching children (mostly my grandkids at this point).

Jann Newton

Deby, I haven’t heard about this course before. I think it’s a great idea! I’ve just started teaching my 5 year old grandson how to sew, and I think this course would be very helpful!
