SCOUTS

We think sewing is the perfect activity for all Scouts! Sewing is a fun activity that has many benefits not to mention that it will be useful throughout your entire life! Once you learn the concept of threading a needle, tying a knot and stitching through fabric the sky is the limit. Not only will you be able to mend your clothes or sew on a button but it may lead to a new hobby or even a career.
We offer hand sewing projects for all scouts from 6 years old and above at our Mamaroneck studio.

Girl Scouts FAQ
-
What are the birthday party sizes?You can either book a party for up to 10 children or up to 15 children (11-15 children). This ensures we have adequate supervision and can pay the appropriate number of supervisors. Please don't ask us to make an exception, as safety is very important especially when working with sewing machines. If have already booked a party for up to 10 children but your numbers are increasing, you can add up to 5 extra children here . The cost is $250.
-
What are the party themes and how should I choose?We have four themes and they are really based around age and typical development of the group such as needle dexterity, ability to stay on task and follow directions, with older children being able to work more independently. The themes are: Me and My Doll (Ages 6-8) Dolls welcome at this party! After an introduction of guests and their dolls, everyone will learn how to sew at this fun party! The project is a crossbody bag for an 18" doll. Party guests choose colors for their bag, applique, button and ribbon. Guests and their dolls will enjoy your cake and snacks in our party room afterwards. Mini-Fashionistas (Ages 6-8) For our younger future fashion designers! Party guests start with a fashion challenge on 18" doll mannequins followed by draping with shiny fabrics. Next they will have fun with our props and posing for photos in our photo booth! Followed by your cake and snacks in our party room. Sewing Machine (Ages 8-12) This is a fun and exciting sewing machine birthday party where everyone gets to use sewing machines to make a choice of either a Crossbody Bag or a Star Pillow (chosen by the birthday person!) Firstly, we will have a safety briefing, followed by an overview of the anatomy of the sewing machine. For concerned parents - our sewing machines have a speed control and we keep them on slow! Our instructors are with the party guests every step of the way to ensure the safe completion of the project. After sewing there will be time for your cake and snacks in our party room! Choose the theme that suits your child best.

Do I have to sign a liability and media waiver?All guests who participate in our classes, camps or birthday parties must complete an online waiver form for liability and media usage. If you have booked a birthday party for your child you will receive an email with a link to the liability/waiver form and you must distribute this to your guests ahead of the party. If we do not have a waiver on file, then we cannot let the child participate, so please make sure that every invited child's parent has received it so there is no disappointment. You can access the form here:
-
How do I book?Once you have selected your theme and thought about how many children will attend (up to 10 or up to 15), then you can book online. Select your date and time, give us some details about your child and pay for your slot. Once we receive payment your reservation is confirmed and a confirmation email will be sent to you (check spam in case). You will also receive a link to the liability and media form which must be forwarded to the parents of each child attending the party. We will also be in touch about a week before to confirm numbers and names. You can reach us by email if you have any questions here: info@sewhappyusa.net Please note that your payment secures your slot and is final. There are no refunds for birthday parties. Families typically book them in advance so it makes it unlikely that we could book out that slot at short notice. However, if the birthday child is sick we will try to reschedule to a later date but is subject to availability. Thank you for your understanding.

Do you provide cake and snacks?Your party time slot includes 30 minutes in the adjacent party room (Yellow Room) where you can serve cake/snacks/drinks to your guests. Bring your cake, drinks, plates/utensils and any decorations up to 10 minutes before the party. You can continue to decorate/organize for a few minutes while the party takes place if need be. As you can see below this room is bright and cheery and already has banners etc.
