Each session is tailored to your level and individual needs - from threading a machine for the first time, to reading commercial patterns, to mastering clothing construction as a whole.
You can be 22, and a total newbie, someone who forgot, at 68, and need a reminder, a sister duo in your 50s, a couple in your 30s, or a mom and kid who want to spend time without any screens.
Each time you book your session, you will be able to fill in a short form and let us know what you’d like to work on: hemming, new construction, patterns, how-to, fixing, re-do, and anything else we can help you with, we will definitely solve it together.
You are welcome to bring your sewing machine if you’d prefer to work on your own - but it’s totally up to you.
-
One-on-one instruction with a professional designer:
Use of studio sewing machines, tools, and basic supplies.
Guidance on your project - whether it’s a first tote bag, hemming pants, or creating a custom garment from a commercial pattern.
Your sewing journey is personal and your goal drives the lesson. We take our lead from what you want to achieve, making each session fully tailored to you.
Flexible pace: build confidence, refine skills, or work on a specific fashion idea.
Be done in just one short session, or book multiple to continue a larger project.
This session may be a one-off, or repeated when ever you need it.
You can take it alone, with your child, grandma, uncle, friend.
Book one next week, and another one in a month - whenever you need it.

You’ll work with beginner seaming and long strips of precut cotton strips.

There will be three different quilting patterns to pick from.
Tools and materials are provided - you don’t have to look and guess what to get. Beginnings should not be overwhelming.
We provide really nice cotton strips and backing, and everything else too.

Class Details FaQ.

Q: How does your course system work?
We run on a clear, step-by-step system: from “never touched a machine” to “confident, independent sewer.” Each course is designed in compact sessions - sharp, skill-packed and practical. You’ll always walk away with new knowledge that you can actually use.Q: Can I bring my own sewing machine?
Yes. If you want to learn on your own machine, bring it every class - we’ll set it up together.Q: What if I learn slower or faster than others?
No problem. Everyone’s pace is different. That’s why our classes are small and personal. You’ll get one-on-one attention and progress at a speed that feels right for you.Q: What makes your classes different from online tutorials?
You don’t just watch and guess - you actually sew, with a professional right next to you to guide, correct, and push you forward. Plus, no wasted time - you learn the essentials, in the right order.Q: What’s the end goal?
Independence. By the time you finish, you’ll be able to set up a machine, sew with confidence, and start tackling projects on your own without fear. -
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to get settled.
If you are bringing your own machine, please arrive 10 minutes early.
