Sandra H. says, "I have known Twain as a college roommate and friend for almost two decades. She is both Godly gifted and naturally talented in the area of fashion design unlike any other. Her competition is only herself! She can do commercial fashion designs as well as spin hair from her rabbit, dye it and make clothes, mud cloth coats,wine bottle carriers, etc. Twain also is a fantastic teacher and educator, bar none, to illustrate on her spinning wheel, from the rabbit hair to the final yarn for use. Both children and adults are forever changed when watching the process. She also has made numerous one of a kind outfits for me and for my daughter who is an entertainer in LA. Her creativity knows no bounds and her patience is phenomenal. As I said, Twain is ONE-OF-A-KIND !!!! You would be fortunate to have her as a teacher who would impart skills that would last you a lifetime. For any additional information, you may reach me at 301-518-6534. Kind Regards, Sandra H.

Your sewing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?

Twain is a real find in NYC. Where do you find a master tailor who is a designer, so committed to the quality of her work that she raises pet rabbits for their angora! Her creations are beautiful and yet so so wearable. And you don't have to have a fortune to look like one. And I know from first hand experience that she is a gifted teach. Like a said, a true find in the City.
