Recent reviews of Sewing Basics Class
- 5/5 from Nicole Izurieta, attended Nov 2026: Chris is a fabulous instructor! He patiently guided us step by step as we made these cute pouches that could work as toiletry holders, bag organizers, etc. I feel so much more confident in my sewing abilities. I can’t wait to take another class!
- 5/5 from Ana Hidalgo, attended Nov 2026: Great class with a kind and helpful instructor. Chris went through the basics of sewing in an engaging way and being able to sew an item to take home was exciting!
- 5/5 from Inez Devereaux, attended Oct 2026: The teachers are very great, very kind. I will do more classes there! I loved it.
- 4/5 from Wendy Washington, attended Oct 2026: Great introduction to sewing. I loved the free-wheeling, dive-right-in approach — no long lectures, we just got going, which is exactly how I learn. The instructors were nice and patient, and the class size was wonderful — just 4 of us, so there was plenty of individual help. I walked away with something I actually made, plus a general concept of how a basic sewing machine works. My only note: I'd love to go back and go slower next time to really lock in the fundamentals. Perfect first class for a total beginner.
- 5/5 from Gabriel Skop, attended Sep 2026: Chris is an excellent teacher. We were a large group of absolute beginners at sewing but he taught us with patience, skill, kindness… and humor. It’s astonishing that in a few hours we could go from zero to great progress on our tote bags. Highly recommend this class.
- 5/5 from Julian Applebaum, attended Aug 2026: We sewed drawstring shorts. Instructors were very hands-on and wanted to make sure everyone left with a finished piece! Also made adjustments to the pattern on the fly for different size preferences.
- 5/5 from Sara Gómez Woolley, attended Aug 2026: This was GREAT class! Highly recommend! The instruction was great and personalized to everyone’s level. The instructors were patient and the project was sew much fun! ️
- 5/5 from April Tausik, attended Jul 2026: Teachers were fabulous
- 4/5 from Gwendolyn Legendy, attended Jul 2026: Great class to get back into the swing of using a sewing machine! Tilly and Chris were knowledgeable and help you understand the mechanics of the sewing machine and small things that make a big difference like alignment of the fabric and scissor positioning. It seems like they are still figuring out the timing of the class so go in with the expectation you MIGHT not finish the project in one class. But you’ll learn a lot and the pace of the class ensures you’re not bored and sitting around and always engaged- either learning what’s next or being hands on with the project!
