SEWING CLASSES (4-8 WEEKS)
All 4-8 week sewing classes are aimed at beginner to intermediate sewers. These classes are currently offered as semi-private lessons (2-people) with dates by request. This small class size ensures that students have plenty of one-on-one attention throughout their learning. Some of these Sew Seductive classes would be considered "accelerated classes" by the standard of the sewing industry. The advantage of taking Sew Seductive classes is students can skip the hobby-craft projects you would find in a traditional setting, get to the point and learn how to execute exactly what you want to make. Students may bring their own machines to class or utilize one on site.

Maria Madrugada, Circus Performer
Clare’s classes have been one of the best investments I’ve made as a performer! My ability to dream up and execute costume ideas has increased exponentially since taking classes with Clare.
