Tailor I + MYOC I (Houston)

Learn how to make your clothes fit better — and make your own clothes from scratch.

Then, in Make Your Own Clothes I: Pants, you’ll work with pre-cut pattern pieces to construct your own pair of pants while learning curved seams, waistbands, hemming, garment assembly, basic fit, and finishing techniques.

My friends and I loved it so much, we booked another class in two weeks. I had such a wonderful time in the beginner sewing class. Kim was so fun, patient, inclusive, and warm. She’s an AMAZING teacher. I learned so much and was surprised at how many techniques I learned from being in her class. The studio is so cute and inviting. The playlist was a vibe as we all sewed together. I personally love that they encourage you to bring your sewing machine to learn yours. I even went to buy two patterns to try and make a work bag and a seat cover for a buggy for practice. Would highly recommend!! Thanks Kim for everything!
Go ahead and book! I had such an amazing time at the Tailor Your Threads workshop! Michaela provided hands on demonstrations tailored to each individuals garments and expected learning outcomes. I walked away feeling empowered to continue in my sewing journey and was able to tailor several garments during the workshop.
