Sewing Lessons
Do you offer lessons for adults?
At this time we offer private and semi-private lessons for adults. We are not offering adult group lessons at this time.
How much are private and semi-private lessons?
Private lessons are $45 per hour or portion. Semi-private lessons (two people receiving instruction together) are $30 per hour or portion.
What can I learn in a private lesson?
Many things? Private lessons can be a great way to learn how to use your new sewing machine or serger, to learn how to make something using a sewing pattern or to get some help with something tricky, like putting in a zipper or setting in a sleeve.
Do you teach children?
Yes, we offer group, private and semi-private lessons to children ages 8 and up. We typically offer after school classes, spring break and summer camps.
Do your fees for children's classes include fabric?
It depends on the class. Prices for our one-day group workshops and school break camps usually include the cost of fabric. Prices for our after school classes do not include fabric as we do not know ahead of time what your budding fashion designer will be making! You can expect to spend an additional $30 to $50 each session for fabric. The cost of patterns, and notions such as thread, felt, zippers, buttons and elastic is included in the class fee.
Do you host private groups?
If you are interested in a private party or event at the studio, please contact us directly so that we can discuss possible options with you.
