We get asked this question a lot, so we know there’re many more of you wondering what classes you should take to get started sewing…..and we know we have a lot of classes, so it can be slightly overwhelming!

If you are a beginner (never have sewn, or sewn very little), then we recommend this path:

First : Our Stitch Style Create for Adults, or Children. This is a 5 week class that teaches you the basics of a sewing machine, you make 4 projects, and it ends with an understanding of commercial patterns.

Second: Our Easy Woven Shirt or T-Shirt. This is a one session class and we suggest doing the knit T-shirt so you get a taste of knit fabric sewing.

Third: Our Classic Collared Shirt (Button up Shirt) class. This is a three session class that will really start to enhance your sewing skills. You will learn how to fit a pattern, learn to sew a button placket, buttonholes, a collar, cuffs, seam finishes, and a nice hem. We have suggestions for both men’s and women’s shirt patterns listed.

Fourth: Our Pant Fitting and Technique-classes/pants-fitting-and-sewing-techniques class. This is a two session class in which you will learn the basics of fitting a pant pattern and then move on to sewing a zippered pant.

Think of the above as the Basic Requirements to have a core skill set: then you can branch out to any of our other classes that interest you: we have a ton!

We also decided that we can not know what YOU would like to make, so we offer Adult Skill Building classes where you can pick the garment and we will help you learn how to fit and sew to your style.

We offer classes on pattern fitting and finally creating your own flat sloper ( basic pattern that fits you)

We know this works….we see our students wearing clothes they Stitched, Styled, and Created.

Let’s get sewing!
