Whether you are brand new to the craft or returning to continue your journey, we have a place for you:

  • The Beginner Project: Learn the basics of fabric alignment, measuring, and straight-line stitching as we guide you step-by-step through making a custom pillowcase.

  • Bring-Your-Own-Project: Already taken a sewing class with us? Bring in an unfinished project from a previous session and use our studio space and expert guidance to help you finish it!

To make your pillowcase uniquely yours, please purchase and bring the following fabric supplies to class:

  • Main Fabric: 1 yard of your primary color/pattern fabric
