Event Overview
At Urban Threads Studio we invite you to join our community of makers. Our fashion and textile experiential learning space is located in the Textile & Fashion Design Center at Bridgeport Art in Chicago. Our children's workshops put you in the designer seat to create functional textile accessories, garments, and gifts. Knowing how to design and sew offers your child a creative way to express him/herself. The class begins with hand-sewing basics and moves on to machine sewing skills and textile design.
Each workshop has a different fun theme for children and will be held Mondays thru Thursdays from 1-4 pm. Ages 7-15, all skill-levels welcome.
