  We have expanded our studio work space and increased our stable of sewing machines. We are building a third cork-top 4x8 cutting table and have setup a sewing machine maintenance table to help keep your machines stitching smoothly.
  
  
  
  All this adds up to a more expansive, functional, and social sewing experience. We also have a new sewing class offering: Make your own Sewing Kit
