Make it Yourself
Are you sick of fast fashion and want to learn how to sew your own clothes? Do you have a hole in your jeans, but you don’t want to send them to the landfill? My private sewing and mending lessons are individually designed for your unique ideas. I happily work with all ages and skill levels.
I teach the art of sewing and the joy of it too.

Sewing Lessons
Ready to sew your own clothes? That’s awesome, and you won’t regret it. Each private lesson includes a free consultation to help you choose projects and focus on the skills you want to build. You’ll also get a free copy of my sewing zine to keep the inspiration flowing between lessons.

Mending Lessons
Don’t toss it, mend it! I’ll teach you how to repair your clothes by hand or machine using techniques like sashiko, darning, and patching. Each lesson includes a free copy of my mending zine to keep you inspired every time something rips.

Kids & Teens
I offer kid-friendly lessons that build confidence and spark creativity. For little ones, we start with simple hand-sewn stuffies and easy machine practice. Tweens and teens get to choose fun, skill-building projects like tote bags, zipper pouches, or their first garment, designed to match their interests and experience level.

Classes + Group Sewing
The more the merrier! I regularly teach group classes at studios around Portland, and I also offer private group sessions at at Sewcial Studies. Whether you're planning a creative hangout or just want to learn together, I’ll help you and your group get stitching.
