Sewing Lessons!
Want to brush up on forgotten skills or start from scratch? I have taught hundreds of people of all ages to sew. I have over 10 years teaching experience and would love to help you get into it! I teach hand sewing basics and getting started on your sewing machine. I try to make it less scary!
I have a beautiful studio in San Jose with sewing machines, a serger, large cutting table and space for 6-8 students. We can formulate lessons based on your skill level and interests.
Come in for a single private lesson to get started on your new sewing machine or brush up on skills long unused, set up weekly sessions to get better at a new skill or bring a group of friends for a themed activity.
House calls available for a traveling fee, depending on location.
