Stitch Society

Not at all! While we offer 1:1 sewing lessons short and long-term for adults and children alike, this sewing cohort is designed to welcome both beginners and experienced sewing enthusiasts with projects that teach foundational skills that can be applied and practiced as any level. The goal. is for all Members to learn to support one another and celebrate and artistic community through all stages of proficiency.

Stitch Society Membership includes:

• 3 Project sessions. -students will leave with completed seasonal projects

• 3 Open Sew sessions - students can bring a project for direction and support, or dive into the scrap bin to explore their skill set and make their sewing dreams come true

• Use of Bernina Sewing machines during camp

• All sewing supplies and fabric required for projects

• Access to a Mary Poppins style scrap bin for Open Studio exploration

• Supportive and enthusiastic instruction from a certified teacher, mom, AND self-taught sewist and quilter with more than 10 years’ experience of trial, error, and professional development in sewing skills

As a certified teacher and sewist of more than 10 years, I bring both educational experience and deep creative practice to the studio. I’ve even taught my own children to sew on machines beginning at age three, and I’m confident in the patience, flexibility, and techniques required to guide students of all levels — from wonderfully messy creators to those who prefer perfectly straight lines and carefully measured designs.

Membership takes place in a welcoming home studio in. asmall group, allowing for truly personalized instruction and meaningful connection between Members over the course of the season. Each child receives the guidance and encouragement they need to build confidence and develop real skills.

I also believe children benefit from learning to handle real tools with thoughtful supervision. Campers will practice lifelong skills such as using an iron, applying math to their projects, and working responsibly with sharp tools. Sewing becomes more than simply pressing a foot pedal — it becomes a hands-on way to build creativity, problem-solving, and pride in making something with their own hands.

By the end of the Fall session, campers will leave not only with finished projects, but with growing confidence as capable young makers, and hopefully a few new artist friends!

Because Member materials and supplies must be prepared in advance, cancellations made on or before September 1 will receive a full refund.

After September 1, registrations become non-refundable. However, the full tuition may be applied as a credit toward a future Stitch Society season, private 1:1 sewing lesson at private lesson rates, or a keepsake item from oh & co. family designworks.

Thank you for understanding that the small group nature of Stitch Society Membership requires advance preparation and limited enrollment.
