Sewing lessons

Learn to sew, one-on-one, from first stitch to finished project.

A beginner series for any age. I learned at 7 from my mom, my grandma and my great-grandma, and I've been sewing for more than 23 years. Now I'll teach you.

The beginner series

Built so it actually sticks.

Lessons run weekly or every other week. Sewing is a skill you keep by doing it, so a steady rhythm is what makes it stay with you.

  1. Lesson one

    Machine basics, how to use a seam ripper (everyone needs one), and all your questions. You also pick the project you'll make.

  2. The middle lessons

    Stitches and techniques, practiced on your own project with fabric you choose.

  3. The last lesson

    You finish your project and take home something you made from start to finish.

After the beginner series

Keep going

Advanced courses cover basic alterations, sewing from a pattern, and making your own garments.
