  • 5/5 from Lilou Basset, attended Sep 2026: Great class with clear instruction! very happy with my tote bag
  • 5/5 from Sneha Panganamamula, attended Dec 2025: Learned all the parts of a sewing machine and how to set it up from start to finish. It was also cool to walk away with a tote bag that actually works and is cute! I would recommend to anyone who wants to get into sewing and needs a gentle start with guidance.
  • 5/5 from Debbie Fromer, attended Mar 2025: Brigid was super patient and helpful! She explained everything and made sure we understood what was going on. Highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Azure N Faucette, attended Oct 2024: Great class and customer service. My class was canceled due to low enrollment and I got a text from the instructor about future availability which worked perfectly. I learned how to do a zigzag stitch which was a struggle. Now, I feel confident. All steps were clearly explained and the instructor was very helpful.
  • 5/5 from Victoria Saber, attended Sep 2024: Super clear, organized and lovely studio! Totally recommend it if you’re getting into sewing or refreshing. The team were so lovely.
