Teach Sewing with Us

Calgary Sewing School is seeking experienced sewing instructors to teach small-group classes for children and/or teens in a studio-based learning environment in 2026.

This is a professional contract role, not a casual or drop-in position. We are looking for instructors who bring strong technical sewing skills, excellent communication, and a genuine ability to connect with young people.

About the role

• Teach small-group sewing classes for children and/or teens

• Guide students through longer-term sewing projects that build skills over time

• Support students individually while maintaining a calm, structured classroom

• Communicate clearly and proactively with the school owner regarding scheduling, attendance, and student progress

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Have solid, well-rounded sewing skills and are confident with a range of projects

• Are comfortable using and troubleshooting sewing machines independently and assisting others

• Are excellent with children and teens — patient, encouraging, and able to maintain clear expectations

• Communicate clearly and professionally in both written and spoken English

• Are reliable, punctual, and well-organized

Please note

• This is a contractor position, not casual employment

• Instructors are expected to arrive prepared and communicate proactively

• Teaching experience with children or teens is strongly preferred
