There is a national trend towards people wanting to learn to sew and design fashion. This has been accelerated by the "Project Runway" show, and well-known sewing machine companies have even come out with their version of "Project Runway" sewing machines! 

Sewing schools are popping up around the country, however, many of them do not provide a comprehensive curriculum, pack far too many students into the classes, and teachers often lack professional textile education and real-life experience.

Our full complement of sewing classes from novices to haute couture techniques will build your sewing, fashion design and decorator skills, from the basic to the most advanced. Our technically trained teachers have professional sewing and real-life experience and hold our classes in small intimate settings.  

We will have you sewing & serging with confidence before you know it! Machine or hand sewing, there is something for everyone.  Start simple. Now it's up to you, just start sewing!

Heirloom or French Sewing is a collection of needlework techniques that imitates French hand sewing of the 1890-1920 periods.

Using your sewing machine and special presser feet, you re-create these fine techniques while constructing beautiful and delicate items complete with laces and specialty trims.  Our instructors have taught these classes for years and have hints and tips that will help guide you through each step of the way. 

Our English Smocking classes will build your smocking and construction skills. Start simple, and then complete by making a girl's bishop dress complete with French seams, bias trim, piping, sleeve insertion and buttonholes.  

Let us introduce you to this exciting world of stitchery and we will have you heirloom sewing and smocking with confidence in no time at all!

Our customers have demanded them and we have developed them!

We are offering a one day Intro to Quilting for all those who would like to begin quilting but don't know what to do or where to go. This class will let you "put your toe in the water" before you jump in and spend your hard-earned money on tools and patterns.

Our 8 week Beginning Quilting class is on Saturdays in the morning... Just some time for you ....Life is sweet!

These classes will introduce you to the basics of quilting and continue to challenge and grow your quilting skills as you progress. We will have you quilting with confidence before you know it!

Many of our customers have asked if we could please hold machine embroidery classes, and the answer is YES!. There are so many embroidery projects out there it can be overwhelming keeping up with all the new products and designs that are available. We are smitten with Anita Goodesigns'  embroidery designs and she has terrific ideas of how to use them. This summer we are starting with two of her designs which are  "All in the Hoop" designs.
