The Intro to sewing 4-class workshop is incredible. We all successfully created a tote bag, a lined zipper pouch, and a pair of pants. I hadn't touched a machine since the late 90s! The instruction is clear, well-paced, clearly demo'd. Coaching is personalized and warm. I feel confident sewing on my own now. The fun, funny, vibrant crew of women in my cohort was an added bonus. Lissa, the owner, is a warm and cool human, a knowledgeable and sharp instructor, and her studio is an asset to the community.

I had a blast taking a sewing "101" here. We made our own tote bags from start to finish, and I was really impressed with the quality of the teaching. We went over everything from how to use a sewing machine and load it with thread, to how to make seams, basically how to construct something. Fully reccomend!

I've discovered that the key to successful adulting is to set yourself up so you always have *something* to look forward to. This intro workshop was That Thing for me in October '25. I'd never touched a sewing machine before and was getting annoyed by how much I was spending to get my pants hemmed (I'm 5'1"). My husband and I enrolled in Caitriona's weeknight sessions, and it was SO MUCH FUN. We finished a reversible tote with a pocket in session one, right off the bat. Session two was a lined (!) ZIPPERED (!!) pouch, which is currently keeping the contents of my oversized bag organized. And then, for sessions 3&4 -- AN ACTUAL PAIR OF PANTS! In my size! With pockets!! Are you kidding me? I could go on and on about how great and satisfying this class was, but in short, 10/10, A++, would enroll again.

Had an amazing experience taking the Bra Set workshop taught by Rose and the dress workshop taught by Lissa. Both instructors made the directions so understandable even though I was a beginner, and I had never used a serger before or worked with stretch fabrics. I completed two projects from the two workshops and they both turned out so cute! The studio is very well-equipped and the experiences were both amazing. Highly recommended!

I took the 4-week intro to sewing workshop and absolutely fell in love with sewing! I’ve never done it before and wanted to start a new hobby and thanks to Lissa’s workshop, I found a new passion. Lissa is incredibly sweet and patient with all the students - she makes you feel very comfortable and capable of doing something new. We learned to make a tote bag, travel case bag, and pants, all of which you take home with you which was very exciting. I’ve already signed up for another workshop to learn how to make a dress and will continue to be a customer of Moving Threads. Looking forward to more classes! :)
