Private Sewing Lessons
One session or an ongoing series - your project, your pace
I’m excited to offer private sewing lessons tailored entirely to you. Whether you’ve taken lessons before or you’re brand new, we’ll work together to get you to the skill level you’re aiming for.
Location: Vecina, 544 Biden Street, Downtown Scranton
Machines: I use Juki home machines and they’re available for all lessons. Have a machine that’s been sitting in the closet for years? Bring it in and we’ll get it set up and going.
What your lesson can look like
- First time at a sewing machine? Start from the very beginning
- Dust-off refresher if you’re a bit rusty
- Tackle an intimidating project you don’t want to start alone
- Explore new fabrics (even the pricey ones!) and techniques you’ve wanted to try, zippers, anyone?!
Topics we can cover
- Reading and using commercial patterns
- Understanding fabric construction
- Pattern layout and cutting skills
- Techniques and problem-solving for your specific project
Project categories: home goods, children’s wear, formal dresses, bags, everyday clothing, accessories, costumes, and more.
