Special 1-on-1 help is available for those who need that individualized attention or cannot be in group settings.
Private sessions are scheduled on a limited basis, please check calendars for availability.
Machine help
Private Sessions are the only classes that allow personal machines to come to classes. Machines need to be in good working condition or serviced recently before scheduling a class. Learn specifics about your machine!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an age requirement?
Our classes accommodate 8 years old through adult for our regular classes, and we work with children as young as 5 years old in our private sessions.
I already have some experience. Where do I start?
All new incoming students start with My First Class. This is to ensure that every student has the foundation skills and use of the classroom machines. Depending on your experience, you may move through the projects quicker than someone with no experience, but it is imperative to complete the Foundation Projects.
Do I need to own a sewing machine?
No! All our classes include the use of our classroom machines and tools unless specifically noted when signing up. Private machines are only allowed during Private Sessions and some traveling workshops.
Can I attend more than one class?
Scheduling is flexible! You can use your classes in both Oceanside and San Diego. You can also schedule more than one class per day. Students that travel longer distances commonly schedule back-to-back sessions at a time.
What is your Cancellation Policy?
Students receive an automated reminder via email and text (if they opt in for text reminders) 24 hours before a scheduled session - Cancellation window closes 18 hours before class starts, please make any changes, reschedule or cancel before 18 hours. Late cancellations will be considered a No-Show and will forfeit the class time.
Refund Policy
There are no refunds on Sewing Class purchases. If you have a specific issue, please feel free to reach out to our team via website chat, email or the Contact Us page.
