Intro to Sewing

I had the most amazing, inspiring, enjoyable, and motivated time participating in the Moving Thread classes. I first took the intro to sewing class taught by Rosie Ponizil, who is a fantastic and patient instructor. I have never sewn or touched a sewing machine in my life and walked away with a super cute tote bag. The class taught the very basic skills from threading the machine, the mechanics of the machine, learning the basic stitch, plus so much more . I was so wowed by the class I took the 4 week beginner series workshop, taught by Lissa an absolute amazing, thorough, patient instructor who delves deep into instruction. I plan to take a few more classes to build on the learning experience. I highly recommend taking these classes especially if you’re a total beginner. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience this has been and what a great business/service this is especially now in an online world where face to face interaction is becoming a lost art. The in-person experience is invaluable! Thank you Lissa for providing your service, a skill everyone should learn.

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!

We took Lissa’s intro to sewing class as a team building event. We all work in front of screens daily and found this incredibly relaxing and zen. Lissa is patient and easily shares her expertise. So fun to create and leave with your own bag. Can’t wait to go back!

I took Lissa’s entry to sewing session lastnight and had a really great time. It would be fun to take the class with a friend, but I went by myself and ended up enjoying the wonderful group (of 6) that I got to meet. Lissa made her way around our small group to answer questions and offer assistance. She’s a wonderful teacher and guides you through SO much that the 3 hours flew by! Highly recommend.

This old dog is learning new tricks, thanks to Lissa and her amazing skills. I have wanted to take sewing classes for awhile and at age 62 the universe provided the time, place, and fantastic instructor/artist. I came into the class with a lot of excitement and know experience; Lissa was patient and supportive, in a wonderful positive atmosphere, she creates in her studio. The studio is spacious with enough room to spread out comfortably and she always has a fabulous playlist that helps you flow. You can feel the passion Lissa has for her craft with her hands on instructions and demonstrations. Lissa is organized and has everything you need, so you leave the class with a wonderful reversible toto bag created with your own hands it was a blast, I will be taking beginner class 2.
