TESTIMONIALS

What our class members are saying about us:
“Patti is a kind and patient teacher with a wealth of knowledge. She really helped me move forward in my understanding of how to work with fabrics, and her information helped me a lot when I went to get my own gear. I can’t recommend her enough.”
Sam Smiley _______________________________________________ "I came to West Side Sewing to learn how to sew, but what I didn't expect to find was the sense of belonging and community in Patti's studio. She is a caring and supportive person; she teaches this wonderful skill in a positive and calm environment that became a place of personal growth for me." Aleksandra Azbel _______________________________________________ "Sewing with Patti is creative, restorative, and so much fun. Her small class size allows for close instruction and the opportunity to share creative ideas with other students in the class." Sally Turner, Development Director, The Steel Yard _______________________________________________ "Patti is a wealth of information and a sewing guru. The space is beautiful and every need is met for supplies. I appreciate that she supports me in the recycling and deconstructing of old clothes for new use! This maker space she has made is a gem." Colleen Gilmartin _______________________________________________ “I have been sewing with Patti for over 8 years-I love her teaching style and her approach to making one’s own designer elements! I sew because of Patti!" Leslie Shane _______________________________________________ "I’ve been sewing at West Side Sewing Studio for over 6 years. It has been an inspiration to me and has helped me step up my sewing game tremendously. Every time I step outside after a session, I feel immense gratitude for the friendships I’ve made, the camaraderie within my peer group, and Patti. She has created an environment that is motivating, and she can help with the many decisions and techniques that come with the craft. Going to West Side Sewing Studio is a gift. " Barbara Hendricks — mastertheartofsewing.com _______________________________________________ “Sewing at Patti’s studio allows me to leap beyond the kinds of pieces I could make at home to more professional-level garments. I get loads of compliments on the items in my wardrobe that were made at West Side Sewing. The shared energy of the space is fun. I get a lot of ideas from seeing what other people are making." Margie Butler _______________________________________________ ”Learning a new hobby has never been so much fun!” Kim Buckett |
"Patti's expertise is not just the act of sewing, it is her passion. I remember my first class and her patience (I had never sewn). After my first beginner project, I dove in and she helped me create some great pieces of clothing even when she had to help me come up with some creative solutions to my work with my imagination. Patti has a true gift for teaching her craft!" Victoria Moutahir _______________________________________________ "Patti Barnatt and her West Side Sewing Studio are true Rhody Gems. Nowhere else can you receive expert sewing instruction in such a relaxed, bright, cheerful setting. Patti is both knowledgeable and supportive and provides just the right amount of guidance based on the particular student’s needs. We pick our own projects, so we work on exactly what we want and also enjoy seeing each other's projects. My visits to West Side Sewing Studio are the high point of my week. I always feel like I have learned and accomplished something while sharing and enjoying friendship and community." Val Welch _______________________________________________ "It’s great that everyone can choose their own project and learn at their own pace. You’ve been so welcoming and explained everything so well! Sewing seemed like it would be something that I wasn’t sure I’d be good at, but under your direction, I feel confident I can complete some awesome projects!" Christa Smith _______________________________________________ "If I could give higher than five stars, I would. Patti is a great teacher. She encourages and inspires creativity. Her classes are warm and open. Class membership is often multigenerational, and she makes that work. Her classes are appropriate for the entire spectrum from beginner to experienced. I have been sewing for decades, yet learn something new and useful at nearly every class." Marsha Ludwig _______________________________________________ "I’ve been lucky enough to take a sewing class with Patti of West Side Sewing Studio for over 10 years! Patti is an amazing teacher. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient, and classes are always fun!" Margaret Billian _______________________________________________ "Whether you have been sewing for years or don’t know your bobbin from your seam ripper, Patti and West Side Sewing Studio is the only place to spend a little time at the cutting table. The studio is friendly and bright, and you will always find a smile, a story, and a great project at your fingertips!!! Jen Brillon |
