Get ready to transform your living space with your own handmade zipper pillow in this fun, hands-on sewing class in New York City! Whether you’ve never touched a sewing machine or you’re a confident beginner looking to level up your craft skills, this workshop will guide you every step of the way.
Our expert instructor will walk you through sewing basics while you create a custom pillow case you can proudly display at home. You’ll learn essential skills like cutting fabric accurately, pinning and sewing straight seams, and installing a zipper with confidence. By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a finished zipper pillow -- and the know-how to make dozens more, turning a simple cushion into a chic statement for your sofa or bedroom. This class is perfect for anyone looking for creative things to do in New York City, whether you’re hunting for unique date ideas, fun Brooklyn activities, or engaging craft activities to spark your imagination.
Dive into this welcoming, hands-on environment where mistakes are part of the fun, curiosity is encouraged, and your creativity is celebrated. With step-by-step guidance, plenty of support, and a playful, positive atmosphere, you’ll walk away not just with a pillow, but with new skills and ideas to keep exploring craft projects at home.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
  • Basic intro to a sewing machine, including how to sew a straight seam.
  • How to cut fabric accurately
  • Pinning and sewing seams
  • How to install a zipper
Please note:
We have two locations in Greenpoint, Brooklyn: The BCC Shop at 165 Greenpoint Ave, and The BCC Annex at 37 Greenpoint Ave #105. Your workshop location will be indicated when selecting your workshop date.
