Cute space! It got my attention when I parked in the area to run some errands! My first thought was: I wish I could have learnt how to sew his way! So much cuter, nicer, better. Back in the day, in the Old country, it was tense, stressful. But I learnt something and I can mend clothes to this day. Useful skill! Since my friend's little daughter wanted to learn how to sew, I got her a couple of lessons here as a birthday present. Reviews were good! She liked it a lot, learnt some and she'll go back. Had a nice time with Miss Shannon and liked her a lot. Classes for adults as well, reasonable prices, check the site for the schedule, call or drop by to see the enchanted world inside! read more

Oh man. I don't know exactly where to start because I have so many good things to say about this amazing little shop. First and foremost, I have not one sewing bone in my body, and sadly my grandmother is long gone as that was her niche. My pre teen had been asking for years to learn how to sew and I finally stumbled upon Miss Shannon's class when a few moms from a mom group I'm a part of recommended her classes. From the start, Miss Shannon has been nothing but welcoming. You need to email her to get class info as you aren't able to schedule classes online. I like that though because it's nice to actually talk with the owner and ask any questions you might have. My daughter has had Bella as her instructor for a few months now and my daughter just loves her. We do bring our own sewing machine because my daughter also uses hers at home and it's nice to really learn the machine you'll be working with. They do have sewing machines there for your kids to use though. The first class they teach you how to use the machine, how to thread it, how to make a bobbin, etc, and you will make a cute little pillow. The second class I believe the kids make a tote bag, the class after that project is completed you'll make a pair of pajama pants, and the class after that project is completed you'll make a heavy duty sewing bag, which was my daughters favorite project because she's able to fit her sewing machine and other materials in that bag to bring to class. You will need to bring your own fabric for the tote bags and pajama pants and any other projects you have moving forward. Right now my daughter has been enjoying making different shirts in class. We get the patterns off of Etsy and the projects are completed in class. I saw one student was making a cute little romper. My daughter looks forward to going to class every week and loves Miss Shannon and Bella. They create such a great working environment and aren't afraid to nix any negative energies, which I really appreciate. It's important for these kids to work in a positive environment where their creativity can flow. These two truly care about kids and teaching the art of sewing to the next generation. Right now it is $38 for a two hour class. Payment info is posted inside the shop, or you can ask Miss Shannon directly. Venmo is the preferred method. There is street parking and there is a lot behind the shop, but I've never parked there so I'm not sure if that's a lot for customers or not. These are also drop off classes as the shop inside is pretty small so it's really only big enough to seat the students. I will park my car out in front and read for a couple of hours instead of going home and coming back. I also really appreciate that they lock the doors during class, which is added security for everyone. If your child wants to learn how to sew or wants a safe space to work on their sewing projects, this is the right place for you to be. read more

Had my first class last week (adult class) and got to take home a pillow that I made! What's great is that you can take a class as a beginner or advanced. As a beginner, I got to watch and learn from some of the more advanced students. They brought along projects from home that they had been working on. Seems like a great idea to be able to stop in for a class any time you're having a little difficulty with a project or need to ask a few questions, and then go back to finishing your project at home. So, you don't have to feel tied into multiple classes! Also, let me just say that my teacher, Amy, was VERY, VERY good. She's super sweet and knows how to explain things clearly and using metaphors so that you won't forget them in the future! Thank you so much Miss Shannon's sewing! I can't wait to go back next week! read more

This class was super fun. I love that you can bring your own machine and she can teach you on it. She's very open to any project and is very free form and relaxed. A fantastic way to begin learning how to sew! read more

Miss Shannon taught my daughter sewing at Colfax Elementary and is incredibly talented. Not only is she incredibly nurturing and loving to the children but she creates a peaceful and encouraging environment for the children to work on projects with their hands and hearts. It's a great discipline to have and a very meditative and reflective hobby for young people and adults - all ages - to take up. I recommend her classes and applaud her new space on Magnolia. You will not go wrong by investing in your children and in Miss Shannon's technique. xo read more

I wanted to like this place, as the kids are doing awesome things, but customer service is NOT a strong suit for this place. I came 10 minutes early, never picked up from here before...and i get chastised by 'Miss Shannon'. What a sassy teacher, seriously. 'We dont open the doors until class is finished, because it interrupts what is happening'. I even asked if i should wait in my car, and she responds with an eye roll. Well pardon me for not knowing, geeze! How dare i be 10 minutes early! So then, a dad comes, and is knocking at the door, and is asking me to let him in. I am looking around, and no one is doing anything... so i stand up and she says 'uhhm, can you not'... wtf! Put a sign on your door or something if you dont want people coming in, or knocking, or whatever. And really, parents arent allowed to watch what you are doing with their children?!? Ok then. Not everyone picking the children up have gone through your little 'orientation for parents', so chill the fuck out or put up a damn sign. I am sure they are 'lovely people' here, but that was a really shitty first impression. Not ok. read more

My daughter absolutely loves this class! The teachers are so lovely and miss Shannon is well organized and a great communicator! Thank you for such a wonderful experience! read more

What a find in this day and age. Shannon is awesome! Can't wait to see how the new space on Magnolia make things even awesomer.

My daughter just took the sewing machine class today from 2-4. I just got home (it's dark now, 6PM) and she is sitting at the table sewing. I was elated! She's been sewing for the last four hours! She's making a dress! She feels so proud of herself AND she's having fun! I really liked that she was in a group of kids around her age. Nice to see her make some new friends. I've seen Shannon with younger kids (mine is a teen) and she's magical. She really knows how to talk to kids and make them feel at ease. read more

Miss Shannon is the most amazing teacher. My daughter started sewing classes with her in March. She knows how to use the sewing machine better than I do! She now makes pillows and other gifts for her friends which mean so much more! Over the summer she learned how to hand sew and embroider. Miss Shannon is a blessing! You and your child will love her! read more

I teach piano to Miss Shannon's son and I have been present for many of her group classes. I am always impressed with how attentive the kids are in her classes. Miss Shannon has a loving and calm demeanor with her students and you can tell they have such a great time! I always love seeing what her many students are working on. The kids often work on projects to give as gifts, as well as clothing and accessories to wear themselves. Definitely check it out if you're interested in sewing! read more
