Making It Sewing Workshop

Sewing Instruction for Children and Adults

Sewing is not a lost art at Making It!

Whether you need to fine tune your skills or start with the basics, our talented staff will help you realize your goals.

Ongoing Classes for Beginner and Intermediate Students

Available for children and adults, our ongoing sewing classes are an excellent place to enjoy the learning process. Your reservation in the same class every week or every other week enables you to work with your instructor as she shares her skills and love of sewing. The ongoing classes are hands-on, with students using the machine starting with their very first class. Each workstation is equipped with a sewing machine and ample workspace. You are welcome to bring your own machine if you prefer.
The small, intimate classes provide plenty of time for the instructor to answer questions individually. There are up to 7 students in each two hour class working on their own projects at their own pace. Truly a "sew"-ciety, the camaraderie among students and instructors is one of the most wonderful aspects of Making It.
You'll appreciate the encouragement and benefit from the answers to your most challenging sewing questions. New students are added to each class as vacancies become available.

Ongoing Adult Classes

We start adults year-round with skills ranging from beginner to advanced. From the person who doesn't know how to thread a machine to the one who knows the basics but is still confused by techniques like zippers and buttons, Making It is the perfect place to get started! Our excellent instructors will walk you through your first steps to show you how to operate a sewing machine, work with fabric, and use commercial sewing patterns. As you gain knowledge of the basics, you will be able to work more independently to speed completion of your masterpieces.
Your first project, a t-shirt, is provided by
Making It
to ensure that you have what you need to start on the right track. After its completion, you may choose your own project. Your instructor will help you to choose projects that fit your skill level and sewing goals. For your convenience, we have many projects available for purchase right here at
Making It!
