Tote Bags that students just made are hung in the entrance area of the Neon Needle studio, on gold hooks. Bolts of fabric are piled underneath the tote bags. The background is a wood wall; above the gold hooks is a white shelf with various plants.
Students from the first Kids & Tweens Learn to Sew class. The kids are sitting at their sewing machines. They are smiling, the kids are about to sew a new project. In the background you can see the Neon Needle studio.

We believe sewing is magical, empowering, & rewarding!

This class is for kids and tweens aged 9-14 who know how to operate a sewing machine and want to improve their skills!
