Sewing Classes for Kids in Nairobi
31st Aug, 2021 at 11:12AM
Not long ago, kids in many primary schools in Kenya learnt how to sew as part of Home Science classes and many households were equipped with sewing machines as they were considered important home appliances. These days, sewing at home and school isn't as ubiquitous and as a result, many kids (and adults) can barely thread a needle. Still considered a life skill, learning how to sew can help kids in the following ways:Developing Hand-Eye CoordinationThreading a needle requires a skilled hand. You have to look through the loop of a needle and get the tiny piece of thread to slip through it. Knotting the thread and stitching a needle through fabric by hand also contributes to the development of hand-eye coordination. Older kids who get to run a sewing machine also need to know when to move the fabric as the needle moves across it.Learning Mathematical SkillsSewing uses plenty of maths. Children who get familiar with sewing patterns are learning engineering principles in an everyday activity. How much fabric do you need to make a certain item; a quick-stitch drawstring pouch, or felted stuffed animals? Measuring the fabric to cut into the sizes and shapes needed for a project also uses maths skills.Mending Their ClothesNever will a missing button be a cause of concern for someone who learned how to mend and sew as a child. With the basic stitches, they can learn how to patch a hole, mend a seam, and fix a hem. Your kids will have a skill set that allows them to repair their clothes or design their own clothes.
