Is Sewing hard? 
Not really if you learn foundations first and don't try to tackle advanced skills at first. It may take time for you to get used to it, but just like learning any new skill, the more you do it the easier it will become, and you will feel more confident over time. You're hands may not be used to moving in particular ways that sewing requires, but overtime it becomes more natural as you build muscle memory. It does require practice and repetition. 

What age do you recommend starting?
I don't start teaching younger than 7.

What is the suggested frequency of classes?                                                                     I require an initial 2 hour intro lesson for new students($100). If I have a monthly spot currently avaiable, we can sign you up for regular lessons weekly or every other week after the intro lesson.  I recommend each student continue regularly with lessons because the longer you go between classes it's harder to remember what was learned. This will then require more review at lessons instead of moving on.

Do you offer adult sewing classes?
Yes. The schedule is by request, please email me.

Do you teach pattern making and drapping? No. I do not teach advanced design or pattern making. I base my lessons on sewing foundations and pattern reading and construction with lots of repetition so the skills are learned. A strong foundation is needed for sewing and I don't skip or rush or teach cheater methods. I also don't teach advanced altering. 

How large are you classes?
At this moment, private lessons and semi-private are avaialble with two students. Friends/family should reach out to be scheduled together as needed. Sometimes, I can match up students who are at the same level for semi-private lessons.

Do I need to bring a sewing machine to class? 
No. Several machines are set up for use. If you want, you are more than welcome to bring your own machine so you can learn how to use it. 

Do you offer rental equipment? I have limited machines and home sewing kits available for rent weekly/monthly. Please reach out if you are interested in this option.

Accepted payments? No fee options: Cash, check, Zelle, Venmo. Cerdit cards can be used through Venmo.
