ABOUT OUR CLASSES
What do you want to sew?
West Side Sewing Studio's ongoing classes provide individualized instruction for adults with basic sewing experience. Each person works at their own level and speed, making whatever they want, whether home decor or clothing projects.
Students are welcome to design their own curriculum; we have no agenda other than teaching people what they want to know.
See fees below.
BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME
Beginners may join our beginner-level classes, which offer a fixed curriculum that covers the basics of sewing.
All beginner students will work on the same project and will use the studio machines.
The Beginner 1 project is a lined tote bag.
In Beginner 2, students will learn to read a sewing pattern and construct a pair of pajama pants. The pj pants pattern is included in the class cost.
See fees below.
In all classes, students must bring whatever patterns, fabrics, and notions are required.
We are not a store; we do not sell materials or notions.
WE TEACH ADULTS
Our students are teachers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, homemakers, writers, hairdressers, artists, designers, drag queens, farmers, business owners, and grad students, to name a few of the professions represented.
High school students are accepted, but we do not offer children's classes.
We are happy to share information about local places offering children's classes.
CLASS LENGTH
How are classes structured?
Sessions are scheduled by calendar month for organizational purposes. Each class is 2 1/2 hrs long & meets once a week. However, students are welcome to customize their attendance. When space has allowed, we have had people do all 4 classes in a single week.
CLASS SIZE
Patti's classes run with a minimum of 3 & accept a maximum of 4.
Beginner classes run with a minimum of 4 & accept a maximum of 6.
Classes are kept small so each person gets the attention they need.
WAITLIST
Please email [email protected] to be put on the waitlist if a class you want to attend is full.
STUDIO MACHINES
What equipment will you need?
We have Janome 780DC Sewist machines for student use. We also have a 3-thread Husquavarna serger, a 4-thread Baby Lock air thread serger, and an Elna cover-stitch machine to be used on an as-needed basis.
Patti's students are always welcome to bring their own machines; this is especially encouraged if they want help learning to use their machines.
Beginner students will use the studio machines.
STUDIO TOOLS
The studio is fully equipped with all the necessary tools for sewing (irons, scissors, pins, gauges, tailor's chalk, rotary cutters, rulers, etc.). Students are welcome to use all studio tools while in class if they don't have their own.
