My 5 + 7 yo did a private lesson with Erika- she was so fun and patient. I appreciate the community and atmosphere the owner Karen is creating. Great place to learn. Beautiful fabrics. I highly recommend if you’re interested in sewing.

I attended a workshop to learn how to make a tote bag, and it was so much fun! They made the steps approachable, and gave us just the right amount of guidance to make sure everyone was successful. The staff members were really helpful, and I ended up with a bag that I totally love. I'm already planning my next projects!

We attended a morning workshop to make holiday pillows. What a wonderful event! The sewing studio is a lovely space and the owners had everything very well organized so that even the novices in the group ended up with an adorable pillow. … More

I took a private introductory class with Tricia. I had absolutely no experience with a sewing machine so I was a bit nervous going into the class, but Tricia’s easy going attitude and simple instructions put me at ease immediately. I can’t wait to learn more from Tricia and the other instructors and become a better sewer!

Every experience I've had with this shop has been positive. Right now, my 9 year old is taking a class that she loves. The teachers have done a great job providing her with the right combination of support and independence. She has learned a lot, and is incredibly proud of everything she's made.
