Sally Jane is offering the chance for children aged eight and over to learn how to sew.

It's a passion the school teacher has rekindled since being on maternity leave and one she wants to share with the younger generation.

Ms Jane said sewing was a great way to express creativity, slow down and be focused in the moment and use problem-solving methods when making a mistake.

She said she wanted youngsters to enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a piece.

Ms Jane is offering an eight-week course in term four in which participants will learn the basics of using a sewing machine and make a number of items including scrunchies, cushions and a wearable garment.

She said she was keen to encourage youngsters to learn the art of sewing and develop an appreciation of what it takes to make clothes and other items.
