ABOUT OUR CLASSES
What do you want to sew?
All classes at West Side Sewing Studio are individualized instruction for teen and adult beginners to advanced students; each person in class works at their level and speed, making whatever they want, whether home dec. or clothing projects.
Students are welcome to design their curriculum; we have no agenda other than to teach people what they want to know.
BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME
Beginners are given a few project choices, while Intermediate beginners through advanced students may choose whatever project they wish. Class members must bring whatever pattern, fabric, 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 some professions represented.
Occasionally, high school students are accepted, but we do not offer children's classes.
CLASS LENGTH
How are classes structured?
Sessions are scheduled by the calendar month for the sake of organization. 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.
Learn to Sew classes run with a minumum of 4 & accept a maximum 6.
Classes are kept small so each person gets the attention they need.
WAITLIST
If a class you want to join is full, please email [email protected] to be put on the waitlist.
STUDIO MACHINES
What equipment will you need?
We have Elna sewing machines (3230) 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. Students are always welcome to bring their own machines; this is especially encouraged if they want help learning to use their machines.
STUDIO TOOLS
The studio is fully equipped with all the tools ( irons, scissors, pins, gauges, tailor chalk, rotary cutters, rulers, etc.) needed to sew. Students are welcome to use all studio tools while in class if they don't have their own.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
*Because of the structure of our Beginner classes, a missed class cannot be made up.

*There are no refunds for last-minute cancellations or no-shows.
