  • 5/5 from Melissa Christensen, attended Apr 2026: This class was excellent! The teachers were great at showing and explaining the steps, as well as kind and patient. I learned a lot and am glad I was able to take this class.
  • 5/5 from Tracyann Williams, attended Mar 2026: This course was fast paced, but very exciting. Was able to make a beautiful bag that I can use over and over and over. Instructors were patient, attentive and encouraging. Enjoyed the class from beginning to end.
  • 5/5 from Nicolas Azcarate, attended Jan 2026: Roby such an incredible and accommodating instructor to all skill levels. I would HIGHLY recommend taking this class if you are at all interested in learning to sew. I went from little skill to designing and constructing a lined tote bag, something I didn’t even know I was capable of. Thanks to Roby’s hands on approach, it couldn’t have been more straightforward. I will be taking more classes at Ciclo!

I'm Robertha Hernandez, originally from Chile - where I received a degree in Fashion Design and Pattern Making and where I worked for over ten years in my family’s clothing business ‘Jai Level’ - as both managing director and designer. Since immigrating to the United States, fourteen years ago, my work has involved the creation of businesses that provide services to families with children primarily through education.
I have wanted to return to my roots in clothing and fashion design and in 2020 I founded Ciclo Sustainable Fashion which brings together my passion for education, sustainability and creative design. I see Ciclo SF as a learning hub, working with young people and their families in understanding clothing creation from source to clothing brand - all through the lens of sustainability.
I invite you to join one of our classes, camps and workshops at Ciclo Sewing Lab and learn sewing machine skill while we are recycling and reusing textiles, up-cycling and explore your creativity while creating new designs while we explore the world of fashion in a sustainable way.
