Sew Inspired

Had the best time during my sewing lesson. Friendly, professional, environment where a new sewer can feel comfortable. I’d recommend this place and plan on going again to learn more.

Found this gem online. I’m 45 and have taken some classes but was interested in a private lesson. I booked a 2 hour session with Leah and loved every minute of it. She taught me about tension, threading bobbins, selecting correct thread and I created a beautiful tote to take home. I was able to keep the pattern and I’m hoping to create another tote at home. Leah is a very patient enthusiastic instructor with great insight and plenty of patience. She is amazing. I am definitely coming back to try another project. Very excited to get started soon!

I love the atmosphere at the Sew Inspired Stitch Lounge. The instructors are super friendly and going there is always a blast.

My 2^nd grade son is really interested in sewing. Yes, I know. Not your regular boy activity, so I was delighted to see that Sew Inspired was offering a one day «Critter Creature» camp. My guy had such a good time that he’s now gone back for a three day camp and really loves it. The teachers are so very patient and kind and he feels absolutely welcomed there. He made items that were appropriately «boyish» (a water bottle holder and pajama pants) and he’s really learned a lot and has been so encouraged. Now we’re signing up for after-​school classes too!

What a fantastic business!!! My daughter’s brownie troop spent the afternoon at Sew Inspired yesterday and she (and 9 other nine year olds) was giddy with delight when I picked her up. Tickled pink that she made her water bottle caddy all by herself,. she and her friends were bubbling over with delight! The afternoon affirmed her self confidence and excitement to learn an entirely new (old) art. Thank you so much for all you do Sew Inspired!

Just had my daughter’s birthday party at Sew Inspired. It was a unique theme for a birthday party that all the girls were excited to participate in. Laura and her teaching assistants were great with the girls. Such a positive first experience with sewing.
Laura has a room to the side where we set up for the birthday food and cake. She kindly let me come the night before to setup and decorate so everything was smooth on the day of the party. She was so reasonable to work with on the event coordination.
Each girl made a messenger bag with a creative patchwork pocket — all one of a kind, functional and fun.
If you’re looking for a unique girls birthday party idea, look no further!
Thank you, Laura!

My daughter and two of her friends attended a class last night and they all had a
BLAST! They can not wait to attend a camp or another class. The instructor was patient, kind and taught them a great deal about sewing. They chatted the entire way home about the fabulous new pajama bottoms they made. I will highly recommend Sew Inspired to all my friends! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

SEW FUN! I bought my first sewing machine and wanted to learn hands on, not from a manual. Laura is spunky and fun, but most importantly, a great teacher! She taught me the basics and now I feel like I could sew just about anything. These lessons make a great gift for the woman (wife, daughter, sister, mother) in your life. I also think it would make for a fun date night (It’s fun to try and teach an old dog new tricks!) Laura has been sewing her whole life and her work space is open and decorated to inspire. I highly recommend Sew Inspired for your sewing lessons!!!

My 13 year old daughter started going to after school sessions a few months ago and absolutely loves it. Laura is fantastic with the girls and she really knows her stuff! This has been the best creative outlet for my daughter… on top of boosting her confidence. The look she has in her eyes when she finishes a project is priceless!

I first read about Sew Inspired in the Best of San Diego magazine and was so excited to find this place was across the street from my house! I was given a sewing machine but didn’t even know how to thread it. Laura walked me through all the beginning stages in a private lesson and helped to inspire me on my next projects. I made an apron and recently went back to her so she could teach me the perfect hem (to keep the good bottom of designer jeans.) Laura also does children’s weekly classes and camps and doesn’t charge for the fabric that the kids make their funky designs with.

Love, Love, Love this place! I’ve been wanting to learn how to sew for awhile now but was having a hard time finding a place around San Diego that offered classes and wasn’t a place that only taught how to make quilts for Grandchildren. I saw the Sew Inspired booth at the 2009 Best of San Diego party (voted Best Place to Embrace Your Inner Designer) and I was so excited that I found a sewing place that seemed so modern and chic. For my birthday I received a gift certificate here for a private lesson and decided to go check it out. It was awesome! (Sew Inspired is not your typical stuffy sewing store.)Two hours later I left with a really cute tote bag that I had actually sewn! And it looked good! My boyfriend had assumed that I was going to just make something not too complex, like a napkin, and he couldn’t believe that I had made an actual bag! haha Laura, the woman who owns the sewing lounge, is so friendly and knows what she is doing when it comes to sewing, alterations and interior decorating. She is a very good teacher and goes over every step with you along the way yet she lets you do all the work so you can really learn how to sew on your own. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to «Embrace their Inner Designer» and have fun along the way!
