Discover the Best Sewing Classes in Los Angeles

Sewing is a popular craft done by hand or machine that involves using needles and thread to stitch together fabric. It is used to create garments and other items made of fabric. Despite its practical uses, many sewers take up the craft as a fun activity. Sewing is used for a variety of purposes, making it accessible to people of all skill levels. 

Why You Should Learn Sewing in Los Angeles

Sewing has been found to have positive mental and physical effects on the body. It is an activity that requires a lot of focus, which aids in stress relief. Lots of planning goes into sewing, from fabric type to design. This allows sewers to express their creativity through their projects. Sewing clubs and organizations in the LA area also encourage socializing while sewing. 

Sewing also has positive physical effects on the body. Hand-eye coordination can be improved by consistent sewing, as it requires fine attention to detail. Hand sewing requires nimble and frequent movement of the fingers and hands, which contributes to the loosening of joints. 

In-Person Sewing Classes in Los Angeles

In-person sewing classes are offered across the US. These classes are offered at a variety of skill levels and cover different sewing techniques, whether done by hand or machine. Most sewing classes will teach the basics of the technique the class is focused on, before guiding students through a project. These projects may range from clothing to accessories. More advanced classes will allow participants to choose what sewing project they would like to work on as long as it is within the skill range of the instructor. 

The Los Angeles area is host to multiple in-person sewing classes. A Beginner Sewing class is offered at The Workshop at Haley Solar - Eagle Rock for anyone looking to be instructed in the basics of machine sewing. Beginner Pattern Making is a great pairing class that instructs participants in pattern-making for dresses. Sewing machines are provided, although the school highly encourages participants to bring their own machines so that they may become comfortable using them. 

Lezu Studio in Santa Monica also offers classes in pattern making. These classes are open for beginner-level participants, who will go from draping fabric for a dress to creating a basic pattern. These classes take place over four sessions, which gives students an overview of basic pattern making. Some sewers find pattern making to be difficult, but with proper instruction and patience, all sewers can learn the steps of creating their own sewing pattern. 

Los Angeles City College, in the downtown Los Angeles area, offers the class, Sewing Made Easy, as well as Sewing Made Easy Level 2. These are beginner and intermediate-level classes that teach participants how to use a sewing machine. These classes focus on the practical use of sewing. Sewing machines are provided by the school and the posted materials list lets participants know what they will need to bring to the session. 

Virtual Sewing Classes 

In-person sewing classes have the benefit of hands-on instruction and provided materials. Meanwhile, online sewing classes offer greater accessibility. By taking place online, virtual classes eliminate the need to commute anywhere to learn how to sew. They also offer more class options at a wider range of competency levels. The primary downside to virtual sewing classes is that materials are not provided, although a materials list will be available to participants.

Art and craft classes being offered online currently focus on embroidery, mending, and crocheting. Art of Contemporary Embroidery is being offered by the Evanston Art Center for those looking to learn basic embroidery techniques. This class is offered over Zoom by a live-online instructor. An embroidery hoop is necessary for this class, alongside other materials listed on the class page. 

Mending is a popular use for sewing. Sashiko Mending is a class offered by the 92nd Street Y online. Sashiko itself is a traditional Japanese mending style that was previously used to mend kimonos in Japan. It has become popular among modern sewers who use it to repair garments. This class is a beginner-level class where participants will learn basic stitching techniques. 

Private Group Sewing Classes in Los Angeles

Arts and crafts classes can be a fun team-building activity for any business or organization. If your company is interested in this, CourseHorse offers live online group arts, crafts, and design classes.

A live-online instructor will walk them through preparing an embroidery hoop and selecting thread. This is a beginner-level class with no prior experience in stitching necessary. 

Two macrame classes are being offered for groups through CourseHorse. These workshops guide participants through the creation of their own macrame projects. In the virtual Macrame Workshop groups will work on creating a plant hanger that they can use to hang plants upon completion. This particular workshop accepts up to 500 people. The virtual Macrame Moon Dream Catcher class is a smaller macrame class that can accommodate up to 100 people, as they work on a moon-shaped dream catcher.

If your group is interested in learning a craft not mentioned, CourseHorse can do a custom class that best suits your team's interests. 20-minute demos are available so that groups may see what a class is like before committing to it.
