Sewing Lessons
Take a Sewing Lesson at Stitch. We’ll help you through each step of your project, teach you new techniques and you’ll have fun, too. Your choose the project, we bring the know how! Lessons are $25 per hour, learn at your speed and according to your schedule. Kinda like having your very own sewing tutor! You can bring a project you’ve been wanting to work on, let us help you find a suitable project for your skill level, or learn something completely new… the choice is yours. Some of our most popular lessons are fashion illustration, patternmaking and fashion design, sewing for beginners, sewing from a pattern, and techniques classes (like putting in zippers or pockets). Excellent projects for beginner/refresher lessons are pillows with invisible zippers, reusable grocery bags or zippered pouches. Advanced beginners can make pajama bottoms, zippered skirts or contemprary quilts.
We can also schedule a private group class. If you have 2 or more friends that want to do the same project. For large groups we will supply two instructors… we’re all about sewing with friends – it makes it even more fun! Each student in private group classes is $35 for two hours. Plan a friends Sewafternoon. Choose a project and get stitchy!

Looking for classes in the fall (like everyone else.
No crochet classes are currently scheduled, but we can schedule a private lesson and focus on just what you want to learn. Call the store and ask for Heidi.
Do you have any crochet classes?
Hi Faith! We do pattern making classes pretty often. I like to do those in a one on one private class because most of my students are making such different patterns. It’s hard for you to get all you need out of the class and ask questions when everyone is making something different! We start off by making slopers and testing those then finalizing your design in a tech flat or croquis format then moving on to your working patterns for the design… However, I have recently been thinking of offering a pattern making class for specific garments… like a straight skirt, cap sleeved blouse, etc with minimal detailing… but a pre-requisite would have to be creating a sloper first… hmm… maybe that should be one for summer! Thanks for your comment!
Any way a pattern making course could be introduced?
