NEW SEWING CLASSES FALL/WINTER 2026!
Fall is almost here, school is starting soon, and the new sewing class schedule is ready. My studio and I are looking forward to welcoming you back and sharing this space with you for another season of sewing.
Along with my favorite beginner basics („Introduction to Sewing I + II“, „FixIt/MendIt“, „Pattern Rub-Off“), I will have a few nice beginner friendly advanced classes like the „Pants“ and four brand new ones which I am really exited about: „Jersey Long Sleeve Top“, „Pinafore Dress“, „Tote Bag“ and „Fabric 101“. A few years ago I also introduced the „Bomber Jacket" and „Jeans“ classes into my programm and the students really loved them, so I had to include these again … the results are always amazing!!! Read all about these classes below, and send me a pm or email me and let me know if you‘d like to join one/more of them.
Apart from Facebook I have all these classes listed also on my webpage https://www.monica-gross.com/sewingclasses, so if Facebook isn't for you, you can always check them out there. If you want to be the first to know about new classes, stay in the loop and sign up to my newsletter here: https://monica-gross.com/sewingclasses -sign-up
As with the beginning of every semester, I’m offering a 10% discount* to everyone who signs up for a new Fall/Winter class before Monday, September 7th. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to secure your spot and save!
*(Does not apply to Introduction to Sewing I + II — please see the combo package for these two classes.)
