Open Sew Workshop – Get help with our projects!

Have a sewing project you’re working on? Stuck at a tricky step? Or just want some extra guidance while you create? Come to our Open Sew Workshop!

This is a relaxed 2.5–3 hour session where everyone works on their own project, and I’ll be there to give personalized advice to help you move forward. Bring any project — whether it’s pattern-making, garment construction, fitting, or just a creative idea you’re excited about.

It’s a friendly, collaborative space where you can ask questions, try new things, and get expert help exactly where you need it. No pressure, no rules — just sewing, learning, and having fun.
