About The Sewing Room
At THE SEWING ROOM we specialize in Apparel Sewing and Fashion. Our instructors have experience with garment fit, construction, design in both the fashion industry as well costuming. We love to share our expertise with our students and believe that sewing is SUPER FUN! Andit’s also a great skill that may save you money, challenge your brain and give you a terrific wardrobe. Additionally, we find that students gain more CONFIDENCE, both with their sewing skills and also within themselves, once they start a regular sewing practice. We believe it is essential for students to choose what they work on (within their skill level, of course). This allows them to be CREATIVE and it also helps students stay invested in the project at hand. Whether you are interested in pattern making, designing apparel, sewing doll clothes or creating unique and useful things for the home, we are here to help you through the process. Come share our joy and passion for the needle arts! …

Instructor
"I first fell in love with design when I started attending sewing classes in 2nd grade and have been sewing and designing every since. I grew up in Eugene Oregon and moved to New York City to go to Pratt, a Fashion Design school. After spending 16 years in NYC designing for some well known fashion companies and everything from women's ballgowns to active wear to menswear, I made my way back to the west coast. Most recently I designed pet accessories and toys!" - Julia
