After School Classes
Sew Fun Studios provide after school classes for children aged 7 – 13 years, both in our spacious Sewing Studio in Wexford Town and also within primary schools across the county.
We also have a class for the older teens on Thursdays from 4.30-5.30pm. Our older students can follow our curriculum using our printed cotton fabrics or express themselves using their own patterns and fabrics. The choice is yours!

Our studio is thoroughly cleaned and sanatized at the end of each class. All of our tutors are Garda vetted & highly experienced in teaching kids.
