We are a sewing school dedicated to teaching sewing skills to a level that will allow sewists to create a wide variety of items from simple garments and accessories of many kinds, to advanced couture sewing and construction.

We offer a variety of classes for beginners (children and adults) and more advanced classes to challenge growing learners. Very advanced classes will follow as interest grows. Lessons in pattern drafting, pattern alteration and fashion design are available on an individual basis.
