Sewing Lessons

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to sew, now is the time! There are now many more reasons to sew than there were when your grandmother was doing it. Here are just a few:

  • Clothing now has a poor fit.
  • Quality clothing is very expensive, especially all-cotton, wool, or linen clothing.
  • Clothing waste contributes significantly to microplastic pollution.
  • Plastic-based fabrics in clothing can be endocrine disrupting, so this means it can adversely affect your health!
  • The quality of thrift store finds is drastically decreasing, but fabrics can still be thrifted inexpensively.

 

Beyond all of the very dire environmental reasons to sew, there is another big one: It is so gratifying to make and wear your own clothing. There is nothing quite like someone complementing a garment you made, yourself.

I offer in-person and online garment sewing and basic pattern modification and drafting lessons. Each lesson is 2hrs, and the cost is $100 per lesson, per person, plus materials. In-person lessons take place in Ventura, CA, and online lessons can take place via google hangouts or zoom.
