Very interactive class with an attentive teacher. Could not have asked for a better experience. I can’t wait until I can take another class from Tish, she’s energetic and professional with so much knowledge to share.

Absolutely loved this class as my first Dabble experience. Can’t wait to sign up for the series when it happens on a day I can commit to for a few weeks in a row. I bought my first sewing machine a few weeks after. Would highly recommend the class.

This class was perfect for a great introduction to sewing - just what I was looking for, as I had no experience with a sewing machine. I appreciated the small class size, and I loved that everything was included and we were able to make something to take home. I learned a lot and am excited to take more classes!

Loved the class! The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was exciting to complete a project within one class. I had so much fun and definitely coming back for more classes with Tish.

I have never used a sewing machine and so was scared I'd fail miserably, but Tish was kind, patient, funny, and engaging, and I learned to use a sewing machine, and even made a needle holder to take home with me (class project)! This was a lot of fun and I'm so glad I did it. Tish was very hands on and helpful, and gave excellent directions and assistance. I'll be signing up for more of her sewing classes, and you should too!

The experience was amazing. Tish is very hands on and fun. I can't wait to sign up for my next class.

I've always wanted to learn how to sew and HISS made it so easy! I am shocked that I was able to make the project we made on my very first attempt with a sewing machine. I will be back for more classes, as this is definitely something I want to do more of!

The craft that she has us sew is very cute and great way to learn. This is a great way to test the waters with sewing without an overload of information.

This was a great class! Tish is a wonderful teacher and gives lots of one on one attention. She provides verbal instructions, visuals and models each step; making it ideal for all types of learners. I suggest if you are starting out with your own machine, take the basics class first, as our machines were already threaded for us upon arrival. I hope to take her sewing series in the future. Thanks, Tish!

I loved this class. It was a great experience to experiment and learn some very basic steps for sewing. The class also let's you test out your appetite for sewing so you leave class knowing if it's something you want to explore more.

Great overview. Tish knows sewing and is a great teacher. I appreciate the small class size.

Fun class, well organized, and you get to make a thing! Also, I'm not terrified of sewing machines anymore!

After years of waiting for the right time to sign up for a sewing class for beginners, I finally had the chance. It's been two days since I attended this class, and I just want to say that my experience was great. Hopefully, I will earn another chance to sign up for another session.

I recently took the Introduction to Sewing class with Tish and I have to say it was great! I have very little experience with sewing and Tish did a great job of demystifying the whole process and we were sewing within 15 minutes. This class has inspired me to take the next beginner series! Tish was an excellent instructor and made the class really fun. Highly recommended!

Tish is great! Even if you can't sew, you will not be intimidated. And you will leave the First class with a cute little needle carrying case. I have signed up for her intro to sewing series!

This is a great class for beginners. I learned a lot about each sewing machine, as well as sewing techniques. Tish is a great teacher with a fun, 80's sewing playlist! I would highly recommend this class - far exceeded my expectations and is an incredible price. Looking forward to more classes taught by Tish!

I had a great time! in less than two hours, Tish helped refresh my very VERY basic knowledge of how the machines work and how to sew seams. I left class with a completed a project. Tish, the teacher, was friendly and knowledgeable. I will be back!

This class was a great low pressure way to get into sewing. I walked in knowing nothing about how to use a sewing machine, and walked out with a cute finished project! Small class and personal attention - highly recommend!

Was better then I imagined it could be.
Quick Goldilocks over view. Not too much, not too little and then we started sewing.
She had a basic project (but not something that made you feel like a 6yo) planned out for us that incorporated and reinforced the primary skill set she had laid out at the beginning of the class. I was impressed with her thoroughness and friendly desire to make sure we were having fun but maybe more importantly learned something about sewing. Well Done!

I have been dabbling in my own for three years after being gifted a machine. I have just winged it and watched videos on YouTube but never really feeling like I know what I am doing. Even clueless I love making cloths and stuff toys from old patterns from the 1950's and 1970's. I decided to dig in and really learn how to sew. I am so glad I did, one class down and I already am more excited and understanding what I am doing even more.

This was an instructive class and left me feeling comfortable making easy stitches. I am not as afraid of my sewing machine now which is also a nice feeling. Lots of great advice for sewing machines and the best practices for my personal sewing goals. Would take other classes from this studio, and plan to.

I had a great time and really liked the project I completed for take home. I feel that with just this class there are quite a few sewing projects I could take on and my understanding of the machine is much expanded.

This was a great class and a perfect intro level overview of sewing. I was a bit overwhelmed by the intricacies of a sewing machine coming in, but the class was structured perfectly between hand-holding and real learning. I made a fun project and learned enough basics to set a great foundation for future courses. The small class size was just right too, enough helping available but also enough room to practice on your own.

Tish was very thorough. She explained the workings of the machine since we were all beginners. She walked us through the sewing project instructing us as we sewed and answered all our questions. She was very friendly, professional and make the experience fun. I now have a beginners knowledge of sewing techniques. I look forward to taking another class with her.

The class was awesome! Just long enough to learn the basics and just short enough to not be exhausting after a day of work! It was great!

I found sewing to be very intimidating and this was an extremely accessible class. The space was great and my instructor Tish was extremely patient and encouraging. I tend to get frustrated when learning something new and she made me feel comfortable to ask questions instead of feeling embarrassed to ask something simple. Felt totally accomplished at the finish and looking forward to taking more classes!

Excellent, excellent way to update my vintage skills. Tish was a very good instructor and ran a well paced class. I caught a few nuggets that I did not know before. We got so much done in one hour. I will be signing up for her sewing machine skills class next.

Really enjoyed the class! The small class size ensured lots of individual attention. The instructor was patient and clearly had put a lot of time into class prep, which kept the class running smoothly. I would definitely take another class from this instructor.

Tish was great! The class was focused, well presented and we walked away with lots of knowledge of sewing. I'm definitely interested in taking more sewing classes and actually dusting off my sewing machine at home.
