Machine Introduction Classes
These group sewing classes are tailored for true beginners of all ages. We also welcome individuals looking for a refresher. The introductory sewing classes are conducted at a slower pace, offering a chance to familiarize yourself with specific machines—home, industrial, overlock (serger), or coverstitch.
Kids, Teens, Adults, and Retirees
The following group sewing classes are designed for various age groups, including kids, teens, adults, and retirees, and are suitable for beginners. If you're new to sewing, we'll go over the home sewing machine and provide additional assistance with the ongoing project. Beginners usually catch on quickly and complete their projects by the end of each class. If you have sewing experience but don't consider yourself advanced, these sewing classes are also a good fit. It's important to note that these sewing classes exclusively focus on sewing with home sewing machines.

Pattern Drafting
What is this and how is it different from store- bought patterns?
Pattern drafting is creating a personalized garment pattern from scratch based on individual measurements and design preferences. It demands skills in garment construction and an understanding of body proportions. In contrast, store-bought patterns, or commercial patterns, are pre-made templates designed by professionals for purchase. They offer convenience and a variety of styles in standardized sizes. While commercial patterns are quick and versatile, pattern drafting allows for a highly customized fit and more creative freedom. It requires more time and skill but offers the opportunity to design unique garments. The choice depends on personal preferences, skill levels, and the desired level of customization. Some may combine both approaches for a balance between personalization and efficiency in the sewing process.
May be more catered to individuals who want to work or learn more about how patterns are made and are interested in working within the fashion and costume industry.
