If you’ve already mastered the basics and you’re ready to level up your garment sewing skills, join us for Sewing 201: Pants starting Aug 2 or Sept 16. You’ll learn techniques for creating a polished, custom-fit pair of pants while building skills you can use for years to come.

A few stitches can completely transform a piece of fabric. ✨

These beautiful sashiko sampler squares came together in our most recent workshop, where students learned the traditional Japanese stitching technique that’s equal parts practical, meditative, and beautiful.

Whether you’re reinforcing well-loved garments, adding decorative details, or simply slowing down with a needle and thread, sashiko is a skill you’ll reach for again and again.

Taking scissors to a perfectly good jacket can feel terrifying... but that’s exactly why we’re here. ✂️

One of our Alterations Workshop students wanted to shorten the sleeves on her jacket for a better fit, and with guidance every step of the way, she walked away with a piece she’ll actually love wearing.

The best part of learning alterations? You don’t have to settle for clothes that almost fit. You can make them fit *you*.

Let’s bring more clothes back to life together at our next Alterations Workshop! We have **two sections** coming up on **July 25**—come learn the skills that will transform your wardrobe, one garment at a time. 🧵✨

Summer sewing season is officially here ☀️👙

Our recent Swimwear Workshop was packed with bold prints, perfect fits, and the kind of confidence that only comes from saying, “Thanks, I made it myself.”
