The Sewing Club — Tabitha Sewer

Step into Tabitha Sewer Studio, the exclusive professional sewing studio in the historic triangle, where we specialize in teaching the fine arts of sewing and embroidery. Join us as a member of The Sewing Club, where we offer a unique opportunity for you to hone your skills and unleash your creativity. Allow me to provide you with a brief overview of what The Sewing Club entails and the benefits it brings to you.

The Sewing Club offers a dynamic and engaging platform designed to nurture your child's journey from novice to adept in the art of sewing. Through meticulously crafted courses, participants progress from foundational skills to advanced techniques, all while exploring the diverse world of fabrics and sewing patterns. Each session equips them with the knowledge to fashion their own garments, instilling confidence to infuse their unique designs into their creations. With access to a treasure trove of materials and state-of-the-art sewing machines, the Sewing Club becomes a haven for creativity to flourish.

How does the Sewing Club Tracker work?

There are 4 Levels in the Sewing Club.
- Level 1: Confidence Builder
- Level 2: Intro to Sewing Patterns- Knit Fabrics
- Level 3: Intro to Sewing Patterns- Woven Fabrics
- Level 4: Fashion Designer

In each level, there are 4 courses. Each course consists of 3-4 classes.
- For example: Level 2.1- The Backpack course. It’s 4 classes. It introduces the kids to sewing patterns and how to assemble and sew their very first backpack. Each class only lasts one hour. It’ll take 4 hours to complete this course.
Once they complete each course, they receive a sticker. You’ll want your child to stay consistent with their group and the classes because once they miss a course, it’s difficult to jump back in. They will have to wait for open registration and they’ll have to join a new group.

Kids are introduced to sewing patterns. This teaches them how all the peices of clothing or bags come together to make a final product. Keeley is making her own backpack using a sewing pattern..

The Commitment + Make-up Days

At Tabitha Sewer Studio, we believe in the power of consistency to hone your sewing skills. When you join our Sewing Club, you commit to meeting at the same time every week, creating a rhythm that fosters growth and progress. We understand that life happens, so we offer one makeup day in case of sickness or other family plans. But don't worry—if you miss a session, we've got your back! You'll schedule a one-on-one session to catch up and ensure you don't fall behind. With our supportive approach, you'll stay on track and continue to flourish in your sewing journey.

We're all about progress and growth in your sewing skills. That's why we highly recommend not skipping any courses in our Sewing Club curriculum. Each course builds upon the previous one, laying the foundation for your success in mastering the art of sewing. If you choose to skip a course, you risk falling behind and missing out on essential skills and techniques.

Here's the deal: if you don't sign up for a course when it's available, you'll find yourself waiting for another spot to open up. And let's be real—that could take several months. We don't want you to miss out on the opportunity to learn and grow with us. So, stay committed, attend each course, and watch your skills flourish!
