My daughter loved these classes so much and she learned an impressive amount in just 8 weeks. I highly recommend these classes for any kids that are interested in fashion and/or sewing.

I had such a great time doing the Improv Quilt workshop with Dona - she is super talented and a great intuitive teacher: she worked her magic with about 8 of us at the same time, all doing slightly different projects, and brought so much enthusiasm, tailored advice and infectious encouragement…

My friend and I took the Sustainability in Fashion workshop and had the most amazing time. The instruction Lissa and Jenny provided was incredibly informative and inspiring, and the hands-on work was immensely therapeutic! It was so nice to start day in their lovely space, joining their community of beautiful people and making art together!
I was so glad that when they said no experience was required, they meant it! Before this one-day workshop, my friend and I had never used a sewing machine before, and I had sewn maybe a total of 20 buttons onto garments throughout the course my entire life.
Lissa provided a sewing machine demo for us first-timers and then continued to walk around us while we worked at the machines and provided assistance if we ran into trouble or out of thread, making the experience so pleasurable and instilling confidence in us all to continue creating freely. Was a great mix up of standing to cut and pair fabrics together at the tables as well as sitting at the sewing machine. Loved that while you could certainly stay in place if you needed or wanted to, there was the ability to move around the space and engage with people in different parts of the room while you worked.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a creative outlet, a precious community, and a safe place to make art.
Can’t wait to come back soon!

I took the Sustainability in Fashion workshop and can’t say enough about the wonderful experience. Lissa & Jenny are so knowledgeable and passionate and their approach warm and supportive. I learned SO much about sustainability practices and was able to get into a flow state during the creative art making with remnant fabrics segment. I highly recommend this studio whether you want to learn to sew or just want to be creative with textiles.

I've always wanted to learn how to sew on a machine but never knew where to start. This past Sunday I got the opportunity to take an Intro to Sewing class with Rose, who is an incredible teacher! She gave us lots of tips and tricks for making the process easy and fun. By the end of the class I walked away with a fully functional tote bag made from scratch. I highly recommend taking this class because you will feel so inspired and want to make more!

I loved this class so much. Lissa is such a thorough and patient teacher. I left this four week workshop feeling capable and confident in my ability to sew. I don’t feel nearly as intimidated as I did when I began. Highly recommend.

My daughter loved her time at STITCHED. Lissa and Rob were wonderful, supportive teachers, helping each child realize their vision. The fashion show at the end was a highlight - we were all amazed at the creativity and skills on display!

I took the Sewing Class intro (4wks) on June this year and I learned how to use my sewing machine at home that I started making zippered pouches as a gift for my friends. Lissa is the best teacher and I can't wait to take Sewing Class Part2.

Super fun, highly creative, and confidence building camp for my 10 year old daughter. She learned to create so many great pieces and gained a new and inspired perspective on fashion and design. She can't wait to go back again.

I can’t speak more highly of Lissa, her studio, and this course. Lissa is a talented teacher. She’s warm, patient, attentive and keeps a beautiful and clean workspace. I work a very stressful job and this class was such an enjoyable, peaceful blessing! I plan to take more classes here and keep sewing on my own.

This camp was amazing. My daughter loved every minute of it. She learned how to better sketch her ideas, unleash her creativity and focus it into a brand and fashion line. She created two outfits and an amazing tote bag with a zipper!

Rob and Lissa provide an inspiring, fun, nurturing and safe space that encouraged the campers creativity to blossom into actual, wearable clothing.

My daughter said it best on the last day, "I feel so accomplished!"

Now she feels empowered to create clothing on a sewing machine and has begun altering old (too small) dresses into shirts. Looking forward to her making new clothes.

Rob and Lissa are awesome. They have created a wonderful opportunity for a range of skills, from the novice to more experienced kids. The space is calming, though busy, and everyone seems happy to be there. My daughter's final pieces were amazing. This is her happy place :)

My daughter Harper (age 9) was so excited to explore this and boy, did Lissa and Rob DELIVER an absolutely incredible experience for her...one that I believe she will remember for the rest of her life and has likely sparked a life long love of creating fashion! This boosted her confidence and creativity in ways I did not expect. I was blown away and am eternally grateful to these amazing human beings and teachers :).

Lissa's Kid-Friendly Sewing Classes at The Moving Thread in Venice, CA, have been an absolute delight for my daughter. She has participated in various classes, each offering a unique and enriching experience.

She has participated in a fashion class with Rob and Lissa, where they taught her the basics of sewing and introduced fashion design. She also had the opportunity to join a private group class with her friends. This was a fantastic experience as Lissa tailored the class to their interests and skill levels, ensuring each child was engaged and learning at their own pace. The personalized attention they received was incredible, and it was heartwarming to see how much they enjoyed working together on their projects.

Most recently, my daughter and her friends participated in a kids' sewing workshop where they created backpacks. This workshop was a hit! The kids were thrilled to make something both fun and functional. Lissa's patience and kindness shone through as she expertly guided them through patternmaking, understanding the sewing machine, and assembling their backpacks. She clearly genuinely cares about fostering a love for sewing in each of her students.

The Moving Thread classes are a perfect blend of education and inspiration. They are structured yet flexible, allowing the kids to explore their creativity while learning essential skills.

If you're looking for a place where you and your child can learn to sew in a fun, supportive, and creative environment, I highly recommend any of The Moving Thread's classes.

My daughter has recently attended a sewing workshop with Lissa and loved it! She can't stop talking about it; she had bags of fun and brought home the cutest backpack she made! I can't recommend these workshops enough and my daughter will definitely be back (and soon!). Thank you Lissa!
