Alyce L. says, "My Instructor Pamela Lucas starts the class right up with a quick "get to know you" and what to expect from her class. The expectations were exceeded and the atmosphere was so welcoming and energizing! I came to the table with years of sewing seams but not the technical vocabulary for making slopers. I finished the class feeling stronger than before. We were allowed to record every good instruction and photograph formulas and take home work to study. Pamela made sure we got an overview of the dynamic machinery used in the garment industry: a class within a class. A class at rightfully Sewn with Pamela Lucas is a great investment. Pamela is on a mission to share knowledge, 100%!" Read more

This is a comprehensive and hands on sewing program. Many of our items we use are sewn together with a sewing machine. Through the program we can learn the value in studying the trade of Sewing and Manufacturing. With this skill we can make pretty much anything you want with just some material, needle and thread. Let’s Sew! 🧵 What I love about sewing is the ability to create an item for a purpose and the ability to enjoy its end use. There is so much versatility and opportunity to create that comes with learning the skill of sewing.

Your sewing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do sewing classes cost?

The cost of sewing classes can vary significantly based on several factors, including location, age, skill level, and the type of class you choose. For in-person group classes, you can expect to pay anywhere from $15 to $60 per session. These classes often cater to both children and adults, providing a fun and interactive environment for learning the basics of sewing or improving existing skills. The price may also reflect the experience level of the instructor, and the materials provided during the session.

If you prefer personalized attention, private sewing lessons are available at a higher price point, typically ranging from $30 to $120 per hour. These one-on-one sessions allow for tailored instruction that can accelerate your learning process. Additionally, online courses are becoming increasingly popular, with options that range from free resources to more comprehensive programs costing upwards of $100. Ultimately, the best choice will depend on your specific needs and budget.

Where can I take sewing classes?

Sewing classes are widely available across various platforms and locations, making it easy to find one that fits your needs. Local fabric stores, like Joanne Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels often host classes for all skill levels, providing a hands-on experience with access to materials and expert guidance. Additionally, community centers and art studios frequently offer sewing workshops that cater to different interests, such as quilting or garment making.

For those who prefer online learning, many retailers offer virtual sewing classes that you can attend from the comfort of your home. These online courses often include video tutorials and downloadable patterns, making them accessible regardless of your schedule.

What types of sewing classes are available?

Sewing classes come in various formats and styles to accommodate different interests and skill levels. You can find beginner classes that introduce fundamental techniques such as threading a machine, basic stitching, and fabric selection. Intermediate and advanced classes often focus on specific projects like garment making, quilting, or embroidery. Some schools and studios also offer specialized workshops that delve into niche areas such as costume design or upcycling clothing, allowing participants to explore their creativity in unique ways.

Do I need to bring my own materials to sewing class?

Whether or not you need to bring your materials to a sewing class largely depends on the specific course and the instructor's policies. In many cases, especially for beginner classes, instructors provide essential tools and materials such as fabric, thread, scissors, and sewing machines. This arrangement allows students to focus on learning without the added stress of sourcing supplies beforehand. However, it's always wise to confirm with the instructor what will be provided so you can come prepared.

For more advanced classes or private lessons, you may be expected to bring your own materials. This could include specific fabrics for projects you wish to work on or personal tools that you're comfortable using. Some instructors might also recommend certain brands or types of supplies that work best for particular techniques. Always check the class requirements in advance to ensure you have everything you need for a successful learning experience.

How long do sewing classes usually last?

Group sewing classes typically last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours per session. These shorter sessions are designed to cover specific topics or projects while keeping participants engaged without overwhelming them. For instance, a beginner class may focus on basic techniques over a couple of hours, while a more advanced class might extend over multiple sessions as students tackle more complex projects.

In contrast, private lessons may be scheduled according to individual needs and preferences. These sessions can range from one hour for quick tutorials to several hours if you're working on an extensive project that requires more time and guidance.

How do I choose a sewing class?

Choosing the right sewing class is crucial for enhancing your skills and enjoying the learning experience. Consider the following:

  • Skill level: Look for classes specifically designed for beginners, intermediates, or advanced sewers to suit your abilities.
  • Specialization: Identify classes that focus on your area of interest, such as quilting, garment making, or embroidery.
  • Instructor experience: Check the instructor's background and qualifications to ensure they are knowledgeable in the subject matter.
  • Class size: Smaller classes often provide more personalized attention and support.
  • Format and location: Decide whether you prefer in-person classes for hands-on learning or online classes for flexibility.

What questions should I ask a sewing instructor?

Asking the right questions when meeting a potential sewing instructor can help ensure a good fit for your learning needs:

  • How long have you been teaching and sewing?
  • What topics will we cover in this class?
  • Will I need to bring my own supplies or are they provided?
  • How do you support beginners or varying skill levels?
  • What is your approach to helping students with common issues?
  • How long are the classes?
  • What classes are available for my skill level?
  • How many students are in the class?

I took a sewing course with Jordan Williams at Rightfully Sewn to learn how to make a bow tie. I haven't sewed in over 15 years, and he was able to walk through each of the steps, show how to set up the sewing machine, etc. I was able to walk away from that lesson feeling confident and with a new bow tie! I highly recommend! There were people in my class who were confident at sewing and still walked away learning a lot from the class!
