This is a 90 minute workshop for those who are new to the process of clothing construction. We will discuss taking measurements, understanding sizing, choosing a pattern and fabric, and identifying what additional items are needed (zippers, elastic, thread, etc). We will also discuss the different ways clothing can be made, whether with a commercial sewing pattern or by copying an existing garment. After this class, new learners are ready to proceed to the Clothing Construction - All Levels course.

This mixed-level class is for students looking to learn how to make clothes or how to improve their range of garment construction skills. Students may work with a commercial sewing pattern or create their own by copying an existing clothing item. Each student will receive individualized instruction and have an opportunity to learn by observing classmates' projects. If this is your first time constructing a garment, the Prepping for Clothing Construction Class is strongly recommended as a prerequisite.

Tuesdays 11am-1pm. This is also known as the "bring anything" class, with a flexible schedule so you can come and go as you choose. Get personal assistance in a small group setting (max 4 students) on a project you choose. All levels are welcome, from new learners to advanced sewers. I generally recommend taking my beginner course, a starter private lesson, or a similar intro from another school teacher first.

These week-long master classes are for teens & tweens ages 11-17 who want to dive deep into the process of design, from conception to reality. We’ll be spending lots of time sewing at the studio, but we will also take a field trip to a fabric store, and try textile techniques like fabric dying/printing, and develop drawing and sketching skills that can enrich students’ understanding of the craft and expand their design ideas. For a complete overview with more details, please contact me.

Have a child who is a young fashionista or an avid maker?  This year (2022-2023) I'm offering a tween/teen after school class Fridays from 4-6pm for students ages 11-17. The class size is small (4 students max), and I work with each student to help select projects that will enable them to expand and grow their sewing and design abilities. If you have a child who is learning for the first time, please contact me before registering so we can work out a plan for getting started.
