Reviews for Sewing Classes in Los Angeles

Sewing Classes in Los Angeles are rated 4.6 stars based on 184 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Class was very knowledgeable. The teacher was pleasant and helpful
  • Overall I thought the workshop was fun and helpful. I’ve never used a sewing machine so I was worried I was going to have difficulties with the machine, but because they give you a breakdown for using the machine, it was so helpful. I was able to do my own projects after this workshop so I’m glad I tried this class. I do wish they had better prints for the bags but it’s not a big deal.
  • I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot. I learned to make large straight legged pants into fitted bell bottoms. I even fixed 3 pairs of pants at home on my own. Thank you.
  • I loved it! Sofia was a wonderful teacher! I will definitely go to her for Sewing 2! Sofia was so patient with everyone! The machines worked great. That class size was perfect. Highly recommend.
  • Level 1 was great!
  • Is great ?
  • fun and learned so much
  • Highly recommend! Perfect date activity!
  • What an amazing beginner class! Scarlet was so patient with all my questions and a great teacher! Clear, concise and a joy. I had zero experience with a sewing machine and by the end I felt so comfortable with the machinery.
  • Great community of knitters learning alot
  • Melissa is very knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. The 4 student format was perfect for the subject matter. I hope to take more courses at LACC extension. Cheers, Lex
  • The Teacher was great and we came away with. Tote bag we made in just a couple of hours. I learned how to thread the machine and Bobbin and basic construction skills. Really great
  • Absolutely loved the class! The instructor, Scarlet, was very efficient and knowledgeable. I was very happy with my finished project! Thank you.
  • Great class! Had fun and learned so much!!! Signed up for more classes after. Worth it for the knowledge they have!
  • My instructor was super knowledgeable and creative. We had a great group and I found a community. I was able to foster relationships with the women in my group who offered a diversity of ages and perspectives. I would highly recommend anyone trying this!
  • I walked into class clueless about my sewing machine and left confident and knowledgeable about the setup and basic techniques. The instructors are helpful and patient with students as we navigate our first project. Not only that, but everyone gets to take their project home. It was a wonderful first experience.
  • The class was actually super informative. Learned a lot. It was my first sewing class ever and loved it. Both teachers were patient and willing to help and made sure we understood everything . Definitely willl be back
  • Friendly and very patient instructor, big facility with cutting table and sewing machine room. I made a Kimono from choosing fabric, to cutting out a pattern, to sewing and trimming. I was even introduced to a Serger machine for detailed lining finish. As a novice sewer, I was so impressed and satisfied with what I learned, that I will definitely be back for sewing lab or project work.
  • I absolutely enjoyed Sewing Level 2. Melissa was so patient and helpful, she made the course material extremely easy to digest and easy to follow along. It's a lot of information but super straightforward and fun. A great foundation to start your sewing journey!
  • Haley is very patient and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to give us pointers on setting up our personal sewing machines. I will definitely look into taking another sewing class with her.
  • It was amazing and Haley was great. I can’t wait to take more classes!!!!
  • The instructor is very knowledgeable and makes the class interesting and fun.
  • Our instructor Melissa was truly amazing. So knowledgeable and such a pleasure to learn from. Loved her charisma and her amount of knowledge made the class really valuable. Thank you!
  • This class was so great and the instructor Melissa was wonderful. I’m looking forward to level 2!
  • This is a wonderful sewing class! I learned everything from the type of fabric you are working with to using and working with a sewing machine. I would recommend this class for anyone starting out or anyone who wants to enhance the skills they currently have.
  • Love the vibe of this place!! Amazing teacher! ❤️⭐️
  • Scarlett and Haley were friendly, fun and great teachers.
  • Melissa Walker is such a fantastic teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things sewing, she's funny, and she made the classes a joy to come to each week.
  • The teacher was very knowledgeable and explained the concepts very clearly. She was patient, funny and told many interesting stories. I think if I bought my own sewing machine I would know how to start using it right away.
  • the course was really useful and well organized. The teacher, Ashley Trutanich, was amazing, both as a professional and a human being. She was very clear in explaining everything and always ready to help us, answering all our questions and showing us things as many times as we needed. The only downside was the duration. 2 hours didn't feel enough, 3 would have been perfect. I shared this thought with the other attendants and they agreed. When we moved to practice what Ashley was teaching us, we found ourselves in a rush. So basically we wanted more ^^
  • Sewing Made Easy was a great class. I have some experience with quilting, yet the class presented and reinforced basic sewing skills like basting, running stitch, and backstitch. I learned new stitches for hemming and mending. So the class strengthened and expanded my basic skills. Ashley was excellent about checking in with us to see where we were in terms of pace and if we needed to see something again. The class supplied sewing machines and I was impressed with how a person could show up and really get a good start--and also make a pillow in two classes! That was amazing. Every student had a lovely finished pillow at the end of the last class. Now I'm working on my own pillow project that is more complicated and Sewing Made Easy serves as a source of inspiration.
  • Introduction to Home Sewing Machine

    I took an Introduction to Home Sewing Machine class at CourseHorse. I loved the class and the instructor. The machines were all new and the facility was very clean. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience.
  • Great class. Just the refresher I needed. The instructor was great and met everyone where they were in their sewing journey. Highly recommended whether you are just starting out or just needed a reminder of sewing fundamentals.
  • Introduction to Home Serger Machine

    The teacher was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. This is a very good introductory serger class and highly recommend it.
  • Great Class learned a lot! Highly recommend and I’m coming back
  • Great experience! It was relaxed, informative and fun. I'm going to book another one on one class to finish the garment I started and to learn solid foundation skills.
  • Introduction to Home Serger Machine

    Very professional and gave me a lot of detailed information. Instructor was very helpful and hands on. Friendly too. Super happy with what I learned. (:
  • Great class. I learned a lot.
  • Matthew is a great teacher - knowledgeable about different sewing machines, very patient and excellent at communicating the “how” and “why” for each step. At the end of the lesson we had made our own very cool tote bags. We actually brought my (teen) daughter’s machine that had been sitting unused on the shelf, and he taught her the lesson on her own machine. She is looking forward to returning regularly to Atomic to work on more projects.
  • This was a fun class I enjoyed every minute of it! It was almost a one on one and I learned the basics of how to thread the machine and the different things the machine can do. I made my first pillow that looked perfect. Instructor was so nice.
  • This was honestly the BEST class I’ve ever taken. I felt so comfortable the whole time. Amazing vibes, and I’m SO excited for more! Can’t wait for my next class!!!
  • Friendly, individual help. I learned a lot!
  • What a pity this class will no longer be offered. Please try to organise more
  • The instructor Jess was great! All the ladies from French General were wonderful. I had a great time!
  • Introduction to Home Serger Machine

    This class was exactly what I needed to start using my serger again. It was a great overview on the capabilities of a serger as well as a practical experience with learning how to thread a serger. I would have liked it to include a simple “ make and take” project. However, the two hour class flew by. That’s when I realized I was truly enjoying the class. The next day I started using my serger without any trepidation.
  • Samantha and Amy made me feel comfortable while they shared a good deal of skill, direction and advice. I will absolutely return to Stitch Space LA for classes, advice, and more.
  • Very patient teacher, great atmosphere.
  • I loved learning with Haley and D! The studio is at HaleySolar.com !!! The space is SO CUTE and makes you feel right at home! i will definitely be coming back. This class is great for younger teens to adults. I brought my brand new machine in the box and they helped me set it all up! It's a store ran by Haley. She also sometimes has her dog!
  • Mrs. Morrison was great! I took this course with my boyfriend and we both enjoyed the class and learned a lot. She showed us all the basics of sewing and I was able to ask her all the questions I had. She was also very personable and patient.
  • Haley was delightful and I came home with a completed project! Fun!

Discover the Best Sewing Classes in Los Angeles

Sewing is a popular craft done by hand or machine that involves using needles and thread to stitch together fabric. It is used to create garments and other items made of fabric. Despite its practical uses, many sewers take up the craft as a fun activity. Sewing is used for a variety of purposes, making it accessible to people of all skill levels. 

Why You Should Learn Sewing in Los Angeles

Sewing has been found to have positive mental and physical effects on the body. It is an activity that requires a lot of focus, which aids in stress relief. Lots of planning goes into sewing, from fabric type to design. This allows sewers to express their creativity through their projects. Sewing clubs and organizations in the LA area also encourage socializing while sewing. 

Sewing also has positive physical effects on the body. Hand-eye coordination can be improved by consistent sewing, as it requires fine attention to detail. Hand sewing requires nimble and frequent movement of the fingers and hands, which contributes to the loosening of joints. 

In-Person Sewing Classes in Los Angeles

In-person sewing classes are offered across the US. These classes are offered at a variety of skill levels and cover different sewing techniques, whether done by hand or machine. Most sewing classes will teach the basics of the technique the class is focused on, before guiding students through a project. These projects may range from clothing to accessories. More advanced classes will allow participants to choose what sewing project they would like to work on as long as it is within the skill range of the instructor. 

The Los Angeles area is host to multiple in-person sewing classes. A Beginner Sewing class is offered at The Workshop at Haley Solar—Eagle Rock for anyone looking to be instructed in the basics of machine sewing. Beginner Pattern Making is a great pairing class that instructs participants in pattern-making for dresses. Sewing machines are provided, although the school highly encourages participants to bring their own machines so that they may become comfortable using them. 

Lezu Studio in Santa Monica also offers classes in pattern making. These classes are open for beginner-level participants, who will go from draping fabric for a dress to creating a basic pattern. These classes take place over four sessions, which gives students an overview of basic pattern making. Some sewers find pattern making to be difficult, but with proper instruction and patience, all sewers can learn the steps of creating their own sewing pattern. 

Los Angeles City College, in the downtown Los Angeles area, offers the class, Sewing Made Easy, as well as Sewing Made Easy Level 2. These are beginner and intermediate-level classes that teach participants how to use a sewing machine. These classes focus on the practical use of sewing. Sewing machines are provided by the school and the posted materials list lets participants know what they will need to bring to the session. 

Virtual Sewing Classes 

In-person sewing classes have the benefit of hands-on instruction and provided materials. Meanwhile, online sewing classes offer greater accessibility. By taking place online, virtual classes eliminate the need to commute anywhere to learn how to sew. They also offer more class options at a wider range of competency levels. The primary downside to virtual sewing classes is that materials are not provided, although a materials list will be available to participants.

Art and craft classes being offered online currently focus on embroidery, mending, and crocheting. Art of Contemporary Embroidery is being offered by the Evanston Art Center for those looking to learn basic embroidery techniques. This class is offered over Zoom by a live online instructor. An embroidery hoop is necessary for this class, alongside other materials listed on the class page. 

Mending is a popular use for sewing. Sashiko Mending is a class offered by the 92nd Street Y online. Sashiko itself is a traditional Japanese mending style that was previously used to mend kimonos in Japan. It has become popular among modern sewers who use it to repair garments. This class is a beginner-level class where participants will learn basic stitching techniques. 

Private Group Sewing Classes in Los Angeles

Arts and crafts classes can be a fun team-building activity for any business or organization. If your company is interested in this, CourseHorse offers live online group arts, crafts, and design classes. They are currently offering private online group classes in embroidery and macrame that can accommodate up to 500 people, depending on class type. 

If your team is interested in the basics of embroidery, CourseHorse offers a virtual Modern Embroidery Art class. This class accommodates up to 500 people. A live online instructor will walk them through preparing an embroidery hoop and selecting thread. This is a beginner-level class with no prior experience in stitching necessary. 

Two macrame classes are being offered for groups through CourseHorse. These workshops guide participants through the creation of their own macrame projects. In the virtual Macrame Workshop groups will work on creating a plant hanger that they can use to hang plants upon completion. This particular workshop accepts up to 500 people. The virtual Macrame Moon Dream Catcher class is a smaller macrame class that can accommodate up to 100 people, as they work on a moon-shaped dream catcher.

If your group is interested in learning a craft not mentioned, CourseHorse can do a custom class that best suits your team's interests. 20-minute demos are available so that groups may see what a class is like before committing to it. If your group size is likely to change, CourseHorse allows alterations in group size after booking. You may also request to reschedule your class for free up to 48 hours before the session. 

Materials are needed for these classes, but they are all provided by CourseHorse. CourseHorse collects the addresses of participants ahead of the session and mail them their material kits. A variety of online platforms are supported by CourseHorse, including Zoom, Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx.
