New Evening Sewing Classes Starting This May

We heard you – and we’re excited to share that our sewing classes are now moving to weekday evenings starting May 2026!

After a long day, this is your chance to slow down, learn something creative, and build hands-on skills in a supportive environment. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to advance your techniques, our structured programs are designed to meet you where you are.

We are offering three progressive 8-week courses:

Basic Program (Tuesdays | 6 – 9 PM)

Build a strong foundation in sewing, learn essential machine skills, and complete guided beginner projects with confidence.

Intermediate Program (Wednesdays | 6 – 9 PM)

Strengthen your skills, explore jersey fabrics, and gain hands-on experience working with a serger.

Advanced Program (Thursdays | 6 – 9 PM)

Dive into pattern drafting, advanced stitching techniques, and create bridal and partywear garments, culminating in a final showcase project.

Registration is now open.
