I’ve now taken my second adult private sewing machine lesson at the UWS location (Broadway and W88th) with the amazingly talented, creative, and patient Cecilia and will keep coming back to learn more every week as long as I can! I can’t say enough about the level of attention and care…in just two lessons I *made* this cropped kimono-style top out of one yard of fabric with Cecilia’s guidance and went from absolute beginner to feeling more comfortable with the sewing machine! Also the store is LOVELY and relaxing and bright and cheerful and enjoying complimentary coffee and great music while working on creative fashion projects with an awesome teacher is my idea of heaven! If you are thinking about it…book one! I started with making a tote bag, which was great. This is such a great creative outlet especially when we get too caught up in the busyness of life to make time to pursue new creative skills. And the space for kids is also amazing: my daughters will love coming here too!
My granddaughter Ava (9) & I really enjoyed the class! We made tote bags. Isreal made it fun & easy for us! We will attend again! & highly recommend it!
Amazing private lesson - I took a one-on-one lesson to learn how to use a sewing machine (I’d never even touched one before), and I’m so glad I did. The instructor was thorough, patient, and kind, and I now can confidently do basic stitching on a sewing machine. The lesson was an incredible deal for how much I learned. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking to kick off their sewing hobby!
Great, friendly and patient staff. Teaching is very understandable for the youngins. The space is bright, pretty, and sparkly! I will definitely sign up for additional classes!
we had been thinking of exploring this option for my 7.5 year old fashionista child for a while. when the pandemic hit, we weren't sure what would be possible, but The Fashion Class opened up for a few weeks of small groups and my daughter has fallen in love already! She has learned so much about outfits, sewing, style and informed me after the first day I needed to buy her a sewing machine and fabric for her to work on things at home. I am amazed at her sewing skills already and loved that they used the first day to make masks (with pleats!) we are hooked!
This is hands-down THE BEST class for kids, especially those who love fashion, sewing, crafts or any creative activity. My daughter has been attending The Fashion Class for the past two years and it's actually mind-boggling what they teach them to do. This isn't just an amateur class, they are learning on professional sewing machines using real patterns and a variety of fabrics. She has sewn dresses, leather bags, pillows, skirts, tops, shorts, headbands, and a ton of other things, and the "I made this" pride she has when she wears them is awesome to witness. The teachers are enthusiastic, supportive and truly care about the students and the space is adorably designed to inspire little (current!) future designers. It's also great that it's 1.5 hours and drop-off--key for a parent. My daughter rarely sticks with an activity for longer than a semester--there's a reason she has no plans to stop this one!
