Ready to stitch up some fun? You can kick things off with simple projects like our Tote Bag Basics class, then level up to alterations or even beginner garment classes.

We now offer operator lessons for machines from anywhere—whether it was a thoughtful gift or a cherished family heirloom. You don’t have to figure things out on your own! We’ve got tons of options to get your sewing adventures rolling, all at your own pace.

Some of our most popular classes are designed to get you comfortable and confident with your tools. You can dive into our Learn Your Sewing Machine Class, where you’ll demystify all those knobs and stitches, turning your machine from a mystery into your new best friend. Or, if you’ve got a serger that’s still a bit intimidating, our Serger Basics class will have you stitching beautiful, professional finishes in no time!

But hey, our offerings don’t stop there! If you’re itching to learn something specific that you don’t see on our current list, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask.
