Sewing 101: Make a Skirt
Love my new skirt! The class was very well organized with a paper guide. Emily the teacher was excellent- super thorough, knowledgeable and patient. Will definitely take another class with her as well as at the site. Love all the cute craft kits and supplies there. Can't wait for my next craft adventure. -
Mindfulness Zen Weaving Circle
Lovely class! Couldn't believe how easy, relaxing, and satisfying it was! -
Intro to Sewing
Great class! Our instructors were helpful, we quickly learned to make our tote bags and were able to ask any questions we had. I would definitely go back for another class. -
Belt Making Class
Had the most incredible time! The teacher was extremely knowledgable and I got to learn about all the steps in depth and had the teacher's whole attention to pep talk me through each step. Got to dye the leather and stamp a design! A much more rewarding experience than slapping together some metal and leather. If you're looking for leather or metal working classes go to Nazz Forge you won't regret it!! -
Sewing 101: Bootcamp
Chelsea was amazing at take us step by step through our class! I learned so much and am confident I can take what I learned to actually sew and hem in the future! -
Sewing 101: Basics
I loved the course! I can’t recommend the instructor enough - Jules was not only knowledgeable and patient, but generous and made the learning process enjoyable. Worth it - I recommend for anyone starting out on their sewing journey! -
Craft a Custom Leather Bag (Introduction to Leatherwork)
The instructor explained all the steps very clearly. I was a little slower than the other people in the class but he made sure that I knew what was going on still. -

June is an excellent teacher. Her instructions were always clear and she was very patient when students needed extra help. She motivated us and conducted the class with support when needed. -
Leather Tote Bag
I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was so kind and helpful, giving me great advice for each step! Highly recommend the class, I use the bag I made pretty much everyday! -
Craft a Custom Leather Wallet (Intro to Leatherwork)
Fantastic! Not only is the class well taught but our instructor was also kind, supporting, compassionate and very patient. Without any kind of previous experience we simply had to follow her guidance to create beautiful card holders. Thanks again, I am coming back soon! -
Sewing 101: Basics
This class is very beginner friendly and adjustable to your skill level as you go! Elizabeth was my instructor and she did a great job of demonstrating and then having me repeat what she showed me. The objectives were very clear from the get go and I learned lots how many minute but important details I was skipping when sewing on my own. They provide all the supplies, so I highly recommend it for anyone interested in sewing but not ready to commit to their own sewing machine yet. -
Sewing 101: Basics
Such a great class for beginners -
Sewing 101: Basics

Sewing Machine Basics Workshop
Great class to introduce you to working a sewing machine! Jessica, the teacher, was patient and explained things really well. My class only had two other students so we go through the project pretty quickly and got extra help when needed. Will be taking more classes here for sure! -
Sewing 101: Basics
The class was organized and the instructor (Marissa ?) was very knowledgeable about sewing. The class always started on time, no time was wasted. -
Sewing Machine Basics Workshop
Was a great course to relearn the basics of a machine and sewing. Completed a simple tote project and Anna even helped me look at my own machine after class so I felt comfortable starting projects at home. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone starting or getting back into sewing looking for a refresher -
Sewing 101: Bootcamp
What a fun class and what a terrific teacher. I really thought Jen gave terrific ways to remember basics (how to make sure your bobbin is in right). Love this place and will be taking classes again and again as I already have. -
Knitting 101
The instructor was excellent. Her teaching method made it easy to learn to knit. Her descriptions of how to apply the needle and yarn were funny and useful and allowed you to fully understand exactly what to do. She gave personal attention to everyone who needed it. She was engaging and delightful. -
Crochet 101: Chunky Cowl
I loved the class! It was informative and super cute to take. The instructor was patient, kind and was detailed in each step throughout the entire process from beginning to end. Would definitely recommend the class to anyone trying to start in crocheting -
Sip & Sew for Beginners
Had so much fun in this class! Was very well paced and felt like I had good support from staff. -
Intro to Machine Sewing
Class was great. We learned all the machine basics, including maintenance. The instructor was very knowledgable and helpful. I wish we got to thread the machine ourselves as that process didn't seem super intuitive, but we did get to practice using the machine and got to make our own push pins, which was awesome. -
Sewing Machine Basics Workshop
the class was everything i expected and more . the teacher was fantastic . -
Sip & Sew for Beginners

Sewing 101: Bootcamp

Sewing 101: Basics
Very useful course and great instructors. -
Needle Felted Pets
Such a fun class - got a solid understanding of the basics and now I feel comfortable starting on my own felting projects. -
Alterations and Mending Workshop
The class was so much fun. We totally benefited that it was only four people in the class with two instructors. They were both really knowledgeable and also met us where we were at. I have a decent amount of sewing experience while someone else in the class had none and had to learn how to thread the machine. The two other people had taken previous sewing classes and needed reminders and educational how to do new things and the instructors were great with all of us. I brought a really ambitious project and they both worked with me to get me in a direction that I would be happy with. The class totally reignited my love of sewing, and they even talk to me about what sewing machine I should buy. (I did buy one that night) I learned a lot of fun, tricks and tips and also unlocked a memory on how to fill a bobbin. I totally recommend this class for people who want to learn how to sew and how to alter their own clothes. -
Craft a Custom Leather Bag (Introduction to Leatherwork)
This class was so much fun! I had no idea what to expect going into it. The instructors were friendly and helpful. And I absolutely love my new tote bag. -
Sip & Sew for Beginners
Really fun! The instructor was lovely and clear, the class was small, and I love the bag. Learning how to use the machine was great and I'd like to come back for more classes! -
Sewing Machine Basics Workshop
The sewing class was excellent! The teacher was very attentive, explained everything clearly, and gave us a great foundation to understand and explore the world of sewing. An inspiring and very rewarding experience! -
Sewing Machine Basics Workshop
Great instructor! Great Class! I'm going to be coming back for more classes and I'm excited to learn how to finally sew in a straight line -
Sew Pajama Pants
I gave up on sewing over 40 years ago. I always had trouble following the pattern and made so many mistakes. The instructor was excellent, and gave us step-by-step instructions. We did not have to rely on the pattern instructions which are often confusing. Students were at different levels but the instructor was patient and gave extra time to those that needed more help. I was able to complete my project and love my PJ bottoms. A very fun day. -
Belt Making Class
I loved the extensive training on dyeing the leather belt. I've taken other leather working class and they usually concentrate on the cutting, gluing/stitching. But honestly, the color is often the most important part. The difference between a commercial product and something that looks like you made it yourself is often the dye. If you want to experience the dyeing process, this is the class to take. -
Felt Therapy: Felting Class
This 2-hour felt therapy class far exceeded my expectations. I had a fabulous time. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in creating a felted vessel. -
Sewing 101: Basics
Wonderful class! I was a complete beginner and am so happy with all of the skills I learned (and being able to take home an actual piece of clothing I made!). And a big shout out to Viola, who was a fantastic instructor! -
Intro to Crochet
OH MY GOD!!! I have been struggling to crochet for a whole year! Just taking one class and I finally was able to create a project! Definitely will be coming back for more classes! Thank you so much! -
Sewing 101: Basics
Loved the independence that was fostered in the setting. -
Sewing 101: Make a Skirt
I booked last minute. Me and three other students. We learned basics of machine threading, measuring our selves, using a calculation to determine how to draw out and cut material. We sewed our individual elastic waist skirt and learned something. I missed the fine print to my own fabric, so I paid $45 for linen fabric at the shop. Plus $95 for the class. I now have a $140 hand made skirt. -
Sewing 101: Make a Skirt
The class was great! The teacher was awesome and went step by step slowly. Now I want to make more skirts. I would definitely take another class with them. -
Sewing 101: Basics
Definitely rewarding and fun for me—I came in with no sewing background. The class structure has realistic goals, our instructor and guest instructor were both so patient, helpful, and kind. I came out with a clearer understanding of constructing from patterns and ended up with pants I actually enjoy wearing! I really recommend this class if you're interested in learning to sew. -
Sewing 101: Basics (Private)
I came in with 2 pair of pants that I wanted to learn how to repair and did just that even though I never used a sewing machine before. My instructor, Wioletta, was amazing. Patience, encouraging, and light hearted. The hour went by so quickly. I didn't have any real interest in learning how to sew before this, but now I purchased my first sewing machine and I'm considering taking the 101 bootcamp! -
Sewing Machine Basics Workshop
So much fun! The class made sewing feel more accessible and doable! Teacher was very helpful and I feel like I can do some sewing at home now! -
