PRIVATE SEWING SESSIONS
YOUR PROJECT. YOUR GOALS. YOUR SEWING ADVENTURE.
Sometimes you don’t need another class.
You just need a Bestie who knows what they’re doing.
Private Sessions give you dedicated, one-on-one time with a Sew Bestie instructor to work on exactly what YOU need help with.
Maybe you bought a new machine and have absolutely no idea what half the buttons do. Maybe there’s a pattern you’re determined to tackle. Maybe you want to learn a specific skill without committing to a full class. Maybe you aren't quite old enough for our group sessions.
Or maybe you’re halfway through a project, staring at the instructions thinking...
“Okay, but what does that actually MEAN?”
Bring it to us. We’ve got you.
WHAT CAN WE WORK ON?
Private Sessions are completely customized around you.
Depending on your goals, we can spend our time:
✨ Learning your sewing machine
✨ Working through a specific pattern or project
✨ Tackling a new sewing technique
✨ Getting comfortable with garment sewing
✨ Learning bag-making skills
✨ Working on quilt construction
✨ Troubleshooting a project that has you stuck
✨ Refreshing skills after some time away from sewing
✨ Building confidence before jumping into regular classes
✨ Getting focused help with something really specific
Have something else in mind?
Tell us what you want to learn. That’s kind of the whole point.
NEW TO SEWING?
You can learn privately!
If our regular beginner pathway doesn’t work for your schedule, you prefer one-on-one instruction, or you simply learn better with someone right beside you, a Private Session may be a great fit.
We can customize your time around your experience level and goals.
That said, if you’re brand-spanking-new and simply looking for the best way to start sewing, check out My First Class + our Starter Bundle first.
Our regular beginner classes are designed specifically to give new sewists a solid foundation — and they’re usually the most budget-friendly way to get started.
ALREADY SEW? EVEN BETTER.
This is where Private Sessions really shine.
You don’t have to spend your time reviewing skills you already know just to get to the thing you actually want help with.
We meet you where you are.
Bring the project. Bring the pattern. Bring the machine. Heck, bring the project you rage-quit six months ago and shoved into a closet.
No judgment. We’ve seen things. 😂
We’ll figure out where you are, what’s going wrong, and what you need to know to keep moving forward.
YOUR TIME = YOUR TIME.
Unlike our regular classes, your Private Session is reserved specifically for you and your goals.
That means we can slow down when you need to slow down, skip what you already know, ask a million questions, repeat something three times, or spend the entire session mastering one technique.
There’s no keeping up with the class.
There’s no waiting for everyone else.
We work at your pace.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
That depends on what we’re working on!
Once we know a little more about your sewing goals, we’ll help you determine exactly what you’ll need for your session. For project-based sessions, students should generally plan to bring their pattern, fabric, notions, and any project-specific supplies.
Working on your own sewing machine?
Bring it with you!
We can help you learn on the machine you’ll actually be using at home.
Need to use one of ours instead? Just let us know.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED A LITTLE ONE-ON-ONE
Because Private Sessions are customized, we like to know a little about what you’re hoping to accomplish before we put you on the schedule. Just fil out the form below to give us a little information about your needs. From there, we can make sure a Private Session is the right fit and pair you with the right instructor and amount of time for what you want to accomplish.
Whether you need help getting started, getting unstuck, or getting brave enough to finally tackle that project... bring it to your Bestie.
We’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go — one stitch at a time.
