Minnesota 4H - Thursday nights for ages 13+
Prior Lake Indian School - Wednesday evenings
St Anthony Village Schools
The only Twin Cities area 4H club devoted exclusively to sewing, Jr Stitch Masters participants meet every Thursday during the school year. We work on a variety of age and development-appropriate skills for teens ages 13+. Our participants regularly win trips to the State Fair and take home champion ribbons.
Colleen learned to sew in 4H, and is committed to providing free sewing education to any teen enrolled in this program.
Prior Lake Indian School is open for free instruction to Native Americans* enrolled in Prior Lake-Savage schools. We work on regalia-building skills on Wednesday nights. If you are interested in learning the technical “how to” for making regalia, come check us out.
