Welcome to Better Living Through Sewing!

For over 15 years, we have taught hundreds, if not thousands of people how to sew!

Whether you’re a new to sewing or an experienced sewer, you’ll learn valuable skills in our workshops and private lessons, taught from our studio in North Oakland.

Our classes are based on good technique and an understanding and love of fabric. Our goal is to make sewing an accessible and fun means of expression for everyone, whether you want to learn to make a garment from a pattern, alter and repair your own clothing, or make a truly creative costume!

We offer private and group classes. For more information, and to register, click on the links below. For private lessons, click here. For other questions, contact us:
