Book A Private Lesson At Our Studio!

Whether you want to learn how to use a machine or are interested in making a special project, we invite you to book a private lesson at our studio!

In these one-on-one sessions, you’ll meet with one of our instructors and explore any topic of your choosing. Each session is $40 per hour. After attending your first lesson, you’re welcome to book another one or join one of our regular sewing classes. (Click HERE to view our studio class calendar.)

Why would I want to book a private lesson?

Sewists opt to book a private lesson because they want to learn something new and they don't see that we're currently offering a class on that particular topic. Most of the private lesson requests that we receive are for machine familiarization, in which a person is completely new to the sewing world and would like to really understand how everything works before they jump into their first project. After attending a lesson, these sewists go on to attend their first sewing class and the rest is history! Alternatively, sewists sometimes want to make a specialized project that requires extra time, knowledge, or detail than what we can offer in our regular sewing classes. A private lesson is the best way to achieve that project.
