Incredible to Witness Her New Independence!

Designed to Keep the Joy In
“A lot of the sewing classes do not foster creativity…these projects were designed more to keep the joy in. So that was really cool!”

Amazing Job Connecting with the Students
“The CIFA after school program has given my daughter an incredible amount of confidence in her sewing abilities. The patient and encouraging instructors do an amazing job connecting with the students, and instruct them in a non-perfectionist manner, which children really need in order to not be intimidated.”
Dawn
parent of Oakley
Introduced to Something New
