TenderLove Community Center

Our twelve-month program teaches women independence and self-reliance using sewing as the platform. The course is offered free to qualified women. It is 6 hours per day, 4 days per week for 50 weeks. The program provides stability and continuity, as well as a safe place to go while women reestablish themselves. Our sewing curriculum gives women a sense of accomplishment while learning marketable skills. Skills learned in sewing classes are transferable to other jobs and situations, making our students employable across the job market. Sewing allows women who are care-givers to adapt their work schedules to accommodate family needs while continuing to help support themselves and their family. Specific competences are set for each week of the program. Regular assessments provide encouragement and accountability, emphasizing the importance of consistency, flexibility, diligence, and teamwork. As students complete elements of the curriculum, we review their progress and give guidance where needed. Lessons move from basic sewing machine use through understanding and selecting fabric and include basic mathematics such as subtraction and multiplication for use with patterns. Projects include aprons, blouses, skirts, pants, and dresses. Students together create a wedding gown, and are required to sew their own graduation gowns as a final project.
