Testimonials:
Will W.:"I decided to enroll my daughter after meeting Jill at a local green festival in Burlingame. My daughter was already enrolled in another sewing school locally so we have a comparison. We tried the two week summer camp. First of all, I think this is a great concept-taking old clothes we'd otherwise donate or give away and recycling them in a way that is good for the environment and also creative. My daughter loves the clothes she made during the camp and more importantly-she felt she learned more during this camp and felt more capable of working independently on future sewing projects. For that reason, I'll try to have my daughter continue during the school year. Jill was easy and flexible to work with as well in terms of fielding questions and dealing with logistics."
Neilie : I met Jill by looking online for sewing classes in the Peninsula. Jill's one of those rare people who are not only extremely creative, but can also share their practical knowledge with others. I took a six week class with the intention of making a costume for the Dickens Fair and loved it so much I became an intern after so I could keep on learning.
The store is cute, the sewing studio is funky and warm, the people are friendly - it's a great environment to learn in. I urge you all to support an artist-slash-small business owner by stopping in and checking things out.
