Testimonials

“I recently completed a sewing course and couldn’t be happier with the experience. As a complete beginner, I was a bit nervous, but the teachers were incredibly patient and supportive. They explained everything clearly and were always there to answer my questions.
I chose to make a tote bag and a skirt, and I was thrilled with the results. I learned so much about different techniques and materials. The studio was a lovely, well-organized space, perfect for learning and creating.
If you’re considering taking a sewing course, I highly recommend this one. It’s a fantastic way to learn a new skill and have fun at the same time.”

“I’ve never left a comment on google before but i had to now because this place is really good. It’s very cozy with chill music and they’ll help in whatever sewing project you got after teaching you to sew as a beginner. i took 15 beginners sewing classes and now i’ll hopefully get the pattern making class. I for sure RECOMMEND this place.”

Maya Brown

“Years ago I taught myself to use a sewing machine but recently I started to feel like I needed to start my learning from scratch. I signed up for a lesson here and will definitely be coming back! Within only an hour, I learned so many things I had missed the first time around (and wound up with a nice tote bag).

The learning space is super nice, good vibes only 🙌🏻✨”
