Yes! Depending on the project I will have materials available in the studio for you to purchase.

In fact here is the policy for materials:

MATERIALS
It is up to the instructor's discretion if the materials brought by the student are appropriate for the project. If a student brings the incorrect materials or forgets them, they can purchase provided materials at the time of class.

you can read all Policy, Terms & Conditions‍ here

Yes and no. Here's the breakdown:

✅ You can bring fabric from home or purchased at a local store, as long as it fits the criteria listed for the class.

❌ You cannot bring items you'd like to upcycle, such as old sheets or curtains. I love and encourage an eco-friendly, resourceful mindset but unless the class specifically mentions it - this one's a no.

❌ You cannot use materials that aren't listed in the class description, or that are specifically noted as materials to avoid.

The materials listed for each project are carefully chosen, and I ask all students to stick to them.

Here's why: the teaching process and projects are designed down to the last detail to give every student ( whether you're sewing for the first time, coming back for a refresher, or advancing your skills ) the smoothest learning experience possible. Also the facts are fabrics behave very differently depending on a lot of factors, and using something outside the guidelines adds an extra layer of complexity on top of everything we're covering in class. Not the mention impacting the drape, fit, function and construction of the piece. It can create challenges for the individual student and disrupt the flow for the group as a whole. Using the same materials means everyone stays supported and on the same page.

I get it, you didn't know it was that deep🙃 haha! I love that your thinking of your project with a since of curiosity and If you're ready to experiment with other fabrics, a private lesson is the best way to get the most personalized support for your specific interests.

Starting something new can be super exciting when the world of possibility open ups. If you actually want to learn, retain the information and build a strong sewing practice the goal should be to take it one step at a time.

Jumping ahead to something more advanced than you are ready for often leaves students feeling defeated and burnt out.

Here is an order that will help you skill build:

1. Sewing 101 Classes or Privates Lessons. Some students take multiple classes at this level before moving on.

Students who have taken classes & private lessons with me tend to be the most prepared. Even if you have sewn before or learned somewhere else I find my teaching style builds the strong foundation for all other classes.

Then you can start to follow your interest.

If you interested in Alterations:
2. Alterations - Hems
3. Alterations - T-shirt cropping
4. Alterations - Jeans

If you’re interest in garment construction:

2. Bow Boxer Shorts

Also check you meet the prereq. That said, if you feel confident, you know yourself best! This note is simply here to make sure you're set up to enjoy every minute, not spend it catching up or unlearning old habits. If you're not sure if you meet the prerequisite for classes or what order is better for you - reach out I’d love to chat this over with you!

Short Answer:
Private lessons - Yes
Workshops - No

Using the studio machines ensures everyone is working with the same equipment, allows me to teach and troubleshoot consistently which helps the class stay on the same pace. It also avoids setup, compatibility, and maintenance issues that can take time away from instruction.
