  • "Lauren is so patient and knowledgeable. She made it a very comfortable environment and inspired me to continue learning more about sewing.”

  • “How much we were able to do in two hours was astounding! And how quickly I was able to pick up the machine even though I’d never used a sewing machine in my life.”

  • “The way Lauren made us all feel so easy and relaxed is a true testament to her abilities as both a seamstress (is that the right term?) and a teacher. It never felt like a "class" but more just someone sharing what they love and that really showed in the results of the students. I mean, c’mon, we made PANTS in less than two hours and I'd never even used a pattern before.”

  • “Small class size, Lauren was helpful and easy to follow. I wish the class had been longer.”

  • “Provided a great refresher on sewing basics and helped us just right into a project. Lauren was so great about answering all of our random and multi-skill-level questions.”

  • Amazing and inspiring!”

  • “I loved how interactive and user friendly this class was! The instructor was incredible and lots of fun. I feel so excited to learn more.”

  • “Fun and informative, she was good at teaching all levels of students. I brought my teenage nephew [to class]. She answered every question he had, and treated him with respect, while keeping the class moving forward and having fun.”

  • “I liked that we were given free rein to play and explore the machines. I learn best when I’m doing, and it made me really excited to continue sewing."

  • “Lauren made the learning process comfortable. I had no problem asking her for assistance (more than once)!”

  • “It was relaxed, fun, the instructor was super friendly and helpful, she made using a sewing machine for the first time feel more intuitive and less scary than I would have expected.”

  • “The small size was really nice along with having all the materials there. Lauren was also just really supportive and attentive to everybody.”

  • “Lauren has a wonderful demeanor. She was patient, kind and very knowledgeable.”

  • “Fun! Small class size, welcoming, hands-on help.”

My favorite @merchantandmills has a great collection of patterns for gifts that take less than one metre (39.37 inches or a little over a yard) of fabric. Time to get sewing for the holidays! #lessthanametre #holidaysewing #gifts
