I recommend Sew Much Fun, a camp taught by Marianne Henri out of her lower floor studio in Albany. She runs an open-ended sewing workshop and meets each kid where they are. My daughter did this camp many summers running and came out of it with cool things to wear and a few new skills. This was some years back, but I notice that there are still notices about the camp in BPN. Seems like just the right place for your child.

I would like to highly recommend Marianne Henri of Sew Much Fun in Albany mjhenri [at] att.net (mjhenri[at]att[dot]net) My daughter started taking classes with Marianne at around age 10 and continued all the way through college. Now she is an accomplished seamstress. Marianne is an amazing teacher with lots of energy and dedication. In the process my daughter also learned lots about patience, creativity and precision, as well as the joy of making something yourself and then getting to wear it! 

Have you looked into sewing lessons? My daughter took after school classes and summer camps for many years with Marianne Henri- Sew Much Fun. mjhenri [at] att.net

Marianne offers small sized classes at her workshop in Albany. My daughter started around age 8 and took classes through high school. She can now make pretty much anything that she wants! Marianne is an amazing teacher with lots of energy, so my daughter also learned lots about patience, creativity and precision, as well as the joy of making something yourself and then getting to wear it!

RE: Beginning Sewing Classes for a 10 Year Old?

A fantastic sewing teacher in Albany is: Marianne Henri Sew Much Fun mjhenri [at] att.net (mjhenri[at]att[dot]net) My 11 year old went to her sewing camp and came back with a bunch of stuff she had made, both machine and hand sewing. Marianne has a great workshop and the kids have a wonderful time. K.


Marianne Henri is wonderful. She is in Berkeley, or maybe it's Albany, off Gilman, near Toot Sweets & the BART tracks. My daughters loved her summer & afterschool classes when they were younger. You can email her at mjhenri [at] att.net (mjhenri[at]att[dot]net). fan of Marianne's Sew Much Fun

RE: Sewing lessons for 7-year-old

Marianne Henri runs Sew Much Fun which my middle school daughter has greatly enjoyed the last few years. Marianne has week long sessions during school vacations and in the summer. I don't know if she has on-going classes or if she works with kids as young as 7.
