This class is completely beginner friendly, so you can feel comfortable even if you have never sewn before. You will have hands-on guidance for every step along the way, making this workshop an encouraging and approachable activity for beginners, those looking to rekindle their love for sewing, or anyone looking for a sewing community.

Recent reviews of Zip Pouch Sewing Workshop

  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended May 2026: My second time enjoying the Zip Pouch Sewing Workshop at Brooklyn Stitch Studio, and it was even more enjoyable than the first!!! In this session Katy; company owner and instructor; offered me a private session after the other students re-scheduled. Then after arriving she offered to teach me how to create a zippered pouch using two different types of fabric and/or vinal to create a two-tone pouch. She then also offered to teach me how to create zippered box style pouch, and for the second pouch an alternate method of sewing the zipper. I chose to learn the new techniques. (smile) And I combined the two-tone with the box style. The zipper method she taught was using a fabric to cover the ends of the zipper. I'm looking forward to taking other sewing workshops at Brooklyn Stitch Studio.
  • 5/5 from Jamie Pitter, attended Feb 2026: This class was super fun and easy to follow, Kate is an amazing instructor. We each walked away with three cute pouches!
  • 5/5 from Hannah Fettinger, attended Feb 2026: Highly recommend this class! The teacher was excellent and the space was great.
  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Feb 2026: The Zip Pouch Sewing Workshop was just as enjoyable as the tote back workshop (taken Feb 21). Kate (the instructure) is very friendly and worked right from the start to make the participants relaxed with the workshop begin conducted and sewing in general. As in the tote workshop, Kate began by letting everyone there some light refreshments and water available, after explaning what we'd doing, she provided a sewing demostration, essentially how to use the machine. After the demo, we practiced sewing; and secondary action, become familiar/comfortable with the sewinhg machine. After practice, each person chose the materials s/he wanted to use for their two (2) pouches. Two fabrics for the exterior, two fabrics for the interior and a zipper. Then we proceeded to create our pouches. Kate would demo a step; i.e. how to sew the zipper between the interior and exterior; then we followed the demo to sew our individual pouch. Brooklyn Stitch Studio is a small studio, but filled with a very energetic owner and plenty of opportunity to makea tote bag our pouch with no pressure. (I mean no pressure, Kate after informs we the workshop participants, that if you make a mistake that isn't easily correctable, just toss is aside, get new materials and start over.) I recommend Brooklyn Stitch Studio wholeheartedly.

Hi! I'm Kate. I run Brooklyn Stitch Studio where we offer sewing workshops and classes for all ages in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
I am a lifelong hobby sewer and crafter. Professionally, I was a preschool teacher for 15 years. I started Brooklyn Stitch Studio as a sewing summer camp program and then expanded it to cover school holiday breaks. After running the sewing camp for a few years, more and more parents started asking to come in to learn to sew too. And that’s what inspired the opening of a dedicated sewing studio space. Since then, Brooklyn Stitch Studio has expanded with recent features in Business Insider and Tween Magazine!
At Brooklyn Stitch Studio, our mission is to make sewing accessible and fun! We handle all the materials purchasing and prep so participants can come in and get right to the good stuff of designing and sewing. And your sewing doesn’t have to end with your workshop or class. We also offer open sew times and private events.
