Common questions

Yes! You can take classes at any of our locations. However, if you’re enrolled in a semester course, you’ll need to attend all sessions at the same location since classes meet consecutively each week.

Not at all. Our beginner classes are designed for people who have never touched a sewing machine. Your instructor will walk you through everything from setup to your first stitch.

Private lessons are one-on-one sessions tailored to your specific goals and projects. When booking, simply let us know what you’d like to work on, and we’ll match you with an instructor who specializes in that area. You can bring in an existing project or email us details in advance so we can prepare for your lesson.

Once you’ve completed Sewing 101 or Sewing 101 Bootcamp, the possibilities are endless! You’ll be eligible to take any of our intermediate and advanced classes, including Dressmaking, Coat Making, Copy Your Clothes, Pattern Making 1, and Draping 1. From there, you can explore the areas of sewing and fashion design that interest you most.

Most beginner classes require nothing but yourself! For Sewing 101, Sewing Bootcamp, and some intermediate classes, students will need to purchase fabric. Required materials and yardage will be listed in your welcome email, and fabrics can be purchased in our shop or on your own before class.

Our one-day classes are designed for you to learn the skills and complete your project in a single day. If you prefer to learn at a slower pace, our semester courses meet weekly over four to six weeks, giving you more time to practice and build your skills between classes.

Classes and workshops may be canceled or rescheduled up to 72 hours before the start of class. Private lessons may be canceled or rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance. Private events and birthday parties require at least one week’s notice.
