Our core education programs are based on a simple methodology to incorporate asking AND answering the following questions in all our projects:

CraftyStitches | Sew Classes, Sew Parties & STEM Sewing Camps in Loudoun CountyScience - How is cloth made?  How do different weaving methods affect the outcome of the textile?
Technology – What technologies are used to make fabric? How have these machines 
changed throughout time, and how have they influenced the different industrial revolutions that have changed how we live today?
Engineering – How do these machines work? What does it take to successfully finish a project?
Mathematics – What's your math? Measure twice cut once. Calculate your seam allowance and project before you cut.
