Learn to Sew

Sewing Classes

Learn to sew or improve your skills in our sewing classes taught by an experienced costume designer for theatrical productions. We offer classes for youth and adults, in hand stitching or machine sewing.

Beginner teens or adults should start with Hand Sewing, to learn the basics of stitch types, patterns, and assembly techniques. People with experience with patterns, and finishing techniques can move on to our Machine Sewing class, where you’ll learn machine basics, such as threading, stitches, and advanced sewing skills like buttons, zippers, and more.

Younger students should start in their age group and move on to Intermediate once they have taken at least two sewing classes.
