A little more expensive than other options in the area, but the hours are longer, and the camp is well worth it. You get a lot for your money.

Miss Jess helped my almost-4-year-old feel immediately at ease, and I feel confident that I left her in very competent hands. There was plenty of supervision (2 adults + a CIT) for ~6 kids in the younger age group. I am sure she will be asking to go back!

Amy is a gem. We were running late, but she was very flexible and upbeat. She even stayed late with…read moreus, I was so impressed. We did a Saturday night Sip and Sew, with 3 of us as completely beginners and 1 experienced sewer. She catered her lessons to each of us. We had the option to make a tote bag or pillow. I went for the tote, with a long handle to wear as a cross-body bag. We certainly got a bit buzzed with the sipping part, but she was so patient with us. I hope to go back and learn more about sewing, what a fun new skill to learn! One location note, we thought it was at the Hipstitch place on Spencer Street, but found out the class was at the retail store at 1280 Washington St. Which is very close, like less than a minute from Spencer St. Our fault for not reading the email thoroughly, made us really late. Just a heads up to future Sip and Sewers!

Only response was 10 minutes after booking a course asking to apply the new customer 10% credit only to be told "no we can't do that. We will apply it to you next class". Refusal to respond at all to any other communication. Same company that will tell you you can't get a credit if you don't cancel with enough leeway. Hypocritical and terrible customer service. Will never book a class again.
