My kids had been asking to sew for years, but I don’t know how and I had no idea this even existed. I was astounded as I saw dozens of kids of all ages from first grade through high school showing off items as simple as funky pillow cases, to as complicated as floor-length prom gowns for a senior prom. It’s an annual event that allows the kids to walk the runway, modeling all of the items they made during that school year.
It’s a school I stumbled upon as part of my job when I was asked to cover their 2013 fashion show at the end of the school year. It’s a sewing school primarily for kids, although it’s expanding now to include adults as well, since moving from Jerilyn’s basement out into an actual storefront facility, and it’s the only one in our state licensed to teach the Kids Can Sew and Fashion Design curriculum, which is a kid-friendly, step-by-step sewing curriculum. It appealed to them immensely because for two years now, they have all three been students at Jerilyn’s Sewing School here in our city.

The Crayola Virtual Design Pro Fashion Collection is something the kids saw on TV in a commercial prior to Christmas. Today’s product is a gift that is quite artistic and creative in nature, and yet uses technology as well.
In my first holiday review post on Wednesday, I talked a bit about how my kids love both science and art, and how this year their Christmas gifts were a great combination of STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Math, not just the STEM area alone. More STEAM gifts for my kids this Christmas. Art, technology and affordability all in one.
