Welcome to our sewing classes and trips! We have private and group, in-person and online classes tp cover all your sewing needs.
We have several trips in the works, once we can travel safely again. Shopping in New York City’s Garment District and visiting all the amazing stores including Mood is always a great trip. We also have a trip to London in the works for 2022 which will include shopping at the iconic Liberty of London and many other posh spots.

The Brother CSi6000 is a fantastic machine for beginners and intermediate sewists. It is so reasonably priced that it will pay for itself with only a minimal amount of sewing and you won’t have the frustration of using your mom/grandmom/aunt’s machine.
If you are in the market for a basic serger, this Brother DZ1234 Serger offers some great features.
Whatever your skill level, we are here to help you. We offer scheduled group classes, drop-in groups and private lessons.
