Women's Sewing Class

Are you an immigrant who is interested in sewing? Join a free course with other women for the opportunity to learn to sew, build friendships, and improve your English!

World Relief partners with Hillside Church to offer a 6-week, beginning to intermediate sewing course. During the course, participants learn to use a sewing machine, follow a pattern, buy fabric at the store, and use industry-specific English vocabulary through a Project-Based Learning Model.

Classes have a small student-to-teacher ratio, with a maximum of 8 women per cohort. Classes are held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings for a total of 6 weeks. While the course is free, participants must attend consistently for all 6 weeks to graduate. Individuals that miss more than 3 classes will not be able to complete the course and graduate. Childcare is available for the children of participants.

The course is offered two times per year, with new cohorts starting each Fall (September) and Winter (January). By signing up on the interest list, you are not guaranteed a place in the course. We will follow up with you before the next cohort starts. Typically, there is a high amount of interest in the course each cycle, and space is very limited. If you are not placed in the upcoming cohort, you will be put on our waitlist for the next cycle. Priority is given to women who are new to the US, have a keen interest in learning to sew, and are able to commit to being present at every class.
