Women, men, teens....learn to sew!

In this project-based, two hour beginner sewing class, we'll teach you sewing basics (threading a machine, loading a bobbin, machine control, various machine stitches), even while making the trendiest item out there!

    Amazing class, Wanda is a lovely teacher!!
  • Sew Simple Beginner Sewing Workshop

    This beginner sewing workshop was great. I've learned quite a few things that I did not know before. Daniel is a great teacher. I got a few yellings from him but all for good reasons (you are supposed to lower the machine foot gently!). We all finished our zippered bags by the end of class. This is a great sewing class for beginners. I definitely recommend it.

    Unfortunately I was never able to experience this class, as the instructor did not show up to the class. I rearranged my entire schedule to be able to attend this class. Very unprofessional.

    The class itself was pretty simple but it was also overbooked. I don't feel like it's worth the money if the class is overbooked.
