Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this beginner sewing class:

Ever wanted to hit your sewing machine? The Beginning sewing class will rebuild your confidence so you can start new with a beautiful relationship.

We show you how to thread, wind and troubleshoot a standard home sewing machine, as well as how to sew a tote bag from start to finish graciously without hurting your new favorite home appliance.

Everything you need is included in this class.  Just bring yourself! We provide a variety of different model sewing machines to show you the basics of how the machine operates. We use the brands Singer, Janome, Juki and Brother.

This class is focused on the operation of sewing machines and how to use them properly but we cannot accommodate students with their own machines due to different levels of workability and set up that may delay the class for other students.


Parking:

Eagle rock is a quaint community but it is still in Los Angeles. Please allow yourself time to find street parking. Parking is free and we recommend parking in the neighborhood behind the shop accessible from Corliss ave. Please respect Eagle rock blvd parking signs.

Accessibility:

Our studio is above our storefront and only accessible up one flight of stairs.

Timeliness:

Please arrive a couple minutes early to get settled in as doors will CLOSE at 11am sharp to ensure the class starts on time and no one falls behind.

Refund Policy

Classes can be rescheduled with 2 business days but refunds for classes are not available.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    What an amazing beginner class! Scarlet was so patient with all my questions and a great teacher! Clear, concise and a joy. I had zero experience with a sewing machine and by the end I felt so comfortable with the machinery.

    I walked into class clueless about my sewing machine and left confident and knowledgeable about the setup and basic techniques. The instructors are helpful and patient with students as we navigate our first project. Not only that, but everyone gets to take their project home. It was a wonderful first experience.

    Great class for beginner sewers. Learned to measure and cut fabric, used a pattern to make a tote bag. Got extra familiar with my sewing machine. A lot of learning done in a short time and well worth the time spent.

    Haley is very patient and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to give us pointers on setting up our personal sewing machines. I will definitely look into taking another sewing class with her.

Question from Kayla F.
Can you learn in just one session? Or do you recommend more?
Answer from Camila F. Verified Student
I learned the basics which is great in any beginner class. I would defer in any craft to take more classes but it’s a great one time class if you want to dip your toes in sewing!
