I have been looking for a sewing group for 3 years and finally found Newton Sewing Studio. From the first session it felt like I was getting together with friends. Brian is interested in what everyone is working on, offers suggestions, answer questions and keeps the atmosphere fun and relaxed. He is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to each session.

I had my first lesson today with Nancy. I had such a great time learning how to sew a pillow. This was the first time I ever touched a sewing machine. Nancy was very patient and is very knowledgeable. Already booked two more sessions.

This review is from Lily, who attends kids crochet with Linda on Saturdays. It's very quiet and calm and relaxing. And it's not like other art places where it's too busy with too many colors. It's very relaxing especially after a long week of school. Linda is very nice and we make good projects. And you can also just chat. You should really take this class and adults can take classes too. But crochet has it's own room. The only bad thing about this place is that the bathroom has a funny lock on the door. Everyone should learn to crochet because it's relaxing.

Im beginning a new project and Nancy has been terrific in giving me step by step instructions so I can work on my own until the next phase . I never feel rushed and I can go at my pace knowing I’ve got help if needed . It makes for a very satisfying and fulfilling experience! Deb F

Nancy was a fabulous patient and informative teacher who helped me learn both how to sew and how to use my machine that has sat on the shelf for far too long! Already booked the next class and I haven’t even left the parking lot 🙂

I am new to sewing and have now had numerous classes with Sarah and Nancy. They are both highly skilled and have great instruction techniques. They are also very patient as instructors. Nancy recently taught me how to sew invisible zippers and, while I am not yet expert, the results were excellent. I hope to continue refining my skills at Newton Sewing Knitting and Crochet Studio.

Nancy was amazing. 10/10!

This was a great adult class - I took it with Abra, an excellent instructor. The pace was perfect, I felt like I was learning as I was doing, and I left the class with a nice looking tote bag I can use for both holding things and impressing my friends.

Abra is a delightful knowledgeable teacher (and her dog Fiona is a nice presence.) I needed help figuring out how to use my Pfaff sewing machine to insert a zipper. I learned a lot about my machine just sitting with Abra though she wasn’t familiar with that Pfaff model. I had been lazy about reading the manuel and that wouldn’t have been enough. I accomplished what I came for plus more!

The Introductory Class for Adults is a great course to start learning how to sew or to refresh your beginner knowledge. Sarah is patient and gives great directions. There is plenty of time in the class for individual attention and you walk out with a fully finished project. I'm looking forward to my next class and am already recruiting friends to join me!

Nancy tested this new-to-me old machine, then showed me how to clean and lubricate moving parts — which I didn't dare attempt on my own. She then showed me how to make a bobbin and thread the needle. It's now ready for my apron project. : ) I'm grateful for her encouragement and willingness to help me out in a pinch.

I had a fantastic 2-session set of classes with Abra. I loved learning how to make my own tote bag! Abra is a wonderful teacher, and patiently guided me through every step of the process. I learned a lot, and highly recommend these classes.

Brian and staff were awesome to work with. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on every project I've worked on. I highly recommend coming in!

Fantastic to get guidance on a project. So great. Thank you!!

Abra was such a welcoming teacher. I'm in my twenties and have always wanted to learn how to sew but have never touched a machine. I signed up for Sewing Machine 101 instead of the Sewing 101 class because I have experience hand sewing and I wanted to jump into more individual instruction with the machines. I was a little anxious going in with 0 experience on a machine, but Abra made me feel right at home. We went through the basics of the machine, its settings, how to use it, and the differences between machines. She answered all of my (many) questions and encouraged me to ask more. I could not have asked for a better first sewing experience! I will certainly be back to Newton Sewing Studio soon, hopefully to make my first tote bag! I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to get into sewing on a machine, no matter your experience level.

Abra is really kind, patient, and helpful! I came to Newton Sewing Studio never having sewn in my life. She has taught me a great deal and lots of tips and tricks.

I took my daughter for the first sewing class of her life. She had so much fun! Brian was great teaching and guiding her through the project. I was surprised when she came back home with a cushion!! I would definitely recommend it.

My daughter Olivia loves Abra! She learned a lot and gained lots of confidence😁 I would highly recommend Newton Sewing Studio! Super Happy! 10 stars!

This was my second class after sewing 101. Sarah was amazing at guiding me to make this cute tote bag. With her it was super easy making this bag even though it was my second time touching the sewing machine. Can't wait to make more things with Newton Studio!

Nancy was an excellent instructor. The class was relaxed, and Nancy was very clear in instructions and demonstration of each step. I am a novice at sewing and she made the process fun. This was my second class at the Newton Sewing Studio (Sarah was also excellent) and have signed up for another class. Thank you!

I recently purchased a Brother 1634DX serger and needed help with learning this macine as I have 0 experience with a serger. Brian instructed me for over an hour and asked me to thread the seger by myself at the end of the class. I was in disbelieve as at the beginning of the class I was completely intimidated to even touch the machine but at the end of the class I was able to thread it and try out various settings. I still need to practice but now I know that the serger will not be just sitting in a box. He also sent me home with a book 'Serger Secrets' to read and review . It explains the capabilities of a serger from beginner to expert level projects. He also suggested a place to go to purchase reasonably priced serger threads. I am so thankful for a class with him.

I booked this class because I was having trouble working with a pattern for the first time. The studio was stocked with everything I needed, including an iron and rotary cutter, as well as plenty of space to spread out my pieces. Abra was super patient and helpful in deciphering the pattern. And the studio space was so peaceful and relaxing! I will definitely be back as I progress through this project. Well worth it.

I really enjoyed the knitting / crochet class with Linda at Newton Sewing Studio! I chose to focus just on crocheting, and I feel like I made a ton of progress with the fundamentals. Youtube videos just aren't gonna cut it when it comes to crochet. You need somebody to help you as you get started, and this class is perfect for that! I'm definitely planning to come back. Thanks Linda!! You were a wonderful teacher and very fun to hang out and learn with 🙂

My thanks to Nancy! Her guidance helped me create a lovely tote bag and build more sewing skills. Looking forward to my next class.

I loved my introductory class with Aubra. I have not sewn since 8th grade (does that even count?) and was starting very much from scratch. The studio is warm and welcoming, well-organized, and super well stocked with fabric and all things sewing. Aubra was a patient, kind, and clear teacher who walked me through the pillow project in very logical stages. I learned so much in a short time and loved the relaxing, creative, encouraging environment of the studio. I'm looking forward to my next class.

Over the course of many sessions worked with Brian on learning how to sew pants, from taking measurements to finishing touches. A delight to work with and very knowledgeable on techniques, fabrics and machines.

This was my second class at Newton Sewing Studio and my first with Nancy. Loved the class and enjoyed familiarizing myself further with a sewing machine. Nancy was a great instructor! She had super helpful tips and suggestions and was willing to indulge my request to add a pocket onto the tote bag!

My daughter had a great time at the intro to Sewing class for kids with Abra. She was proud of her work, learned new skills, met other kids and asked when she could go back for another class!

I had such a lovely time making my pillow! Abra was an excellent instructor

Brian was great and was able to answer my questions. He helped me with the specific things I needed. Thank you!

My daughter has been taking sewing classes for years (and has attended a few camps). She always looks forward to going. She has learned an amazing amount and has been given a lot of freedom to make things of her own choosing. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly. Nothing but good things to say!

I recently picked up quilting again for the first time since college and needed to learn how to hand-finish a quilt. Sarah crafted our lesson around my questions & goals. She let me practice and suggested materials I could purchase online to make my project easier. I was able to try any tools available at the studio, which was very helpful. Sarah also noticed potential difficulties with binding my pinned quilts - which is a process for which I could use help. After my quilts are finished, I'm heading back to Newton Sewing Studio for another lesson with Sarah! The techniques I'm learning and tools I used will help me refine my technique!

The small class size was perfect for me and there was plenty of individual attention and guidance. I was amazed as a total beginner that I walked out of class with a finished project that I'm proud of! Thanks Newton Sewing Studio!

I had a great class with Sarah and was so excited with the final product! This was only my second ever sewing class but I learned a lot and was able to take home the practice zipper we made together so I can remember how to recreate the pillow at home. So great to have a project to be able to easily make at home again.

5 STAR CLASS! Linda is an excellent teacher, patient and willing to repeat steps multiple times. I was in class with a beginner and I know how to crochet but needed help in starting my afghan. Linda easily transitioned between both of us and gave us the attention we needed to feel confident in working independently. Linda is pleasant and truly interested in making sure we enjoy our learning with her as she shares her love of crocheting. I intend to take more classes with her and want her to teach me how to knit!

5 Stars! Made a beautiful bag with my teacher Nancy (she is terrific!). Great instruction and so relaxing, only my 2nd item I have sewn! Can’t wait to take my next class!

Nancy is fantastic! I used to sew a bit but now really want to fully understand what I am doing. The only problem is I don’t want to leave! Thank you Nancy for teaching me with the ultimate patience!

This is another great class taught by Abra. You should consider taking this great class to learn new skills to use for future projects. The class was well paced and relaxed.

This is my second class with Abra. She is very knowledgeable and patient. I have enjoyed both classes. I am signing up for more classes.

I love the open studio time to work on a variety of projects with the team. I'm working on dresses, bags, shirts...from new fabrics and repurposing things I have. Having access to all the tools and advice is great as I'm still learning.

Guidance from Sarah made the project very easy - lots of helpful advice and tricks learned along the way to feel confident doing it on my own at home.

My daughter has been going to classes at NSS for about a year, and I think her recent doll sweatshirt is a perfect example of how far she's come. It's amazing to think that my 8-year-old made this herself, and I'm excited to see what's next!

My daughter and I took a beginners class together and it was great. The staff was patient and friendly, the space is cozy and colorful, and we walked away with new skills. Definitely recommended, and we'll be going back.

This was my second class with with Abra, I did sewing 101 with her before and made a pillow. I enjoyed both classes very much! I didn’t get to finish my tote (I’m a bit of a perfectionist and work slowly) so I booked an open studio session to complete my tote! I’m very excited to take all the other adult classes they offer and learn more!

My daughter made a doll backpack. Even though it was very small, the details were impressive. I love that she s always so proud of everything she makes because she makes it all herself. She really enjoyed this class and she is happy to have an accessory for her doll made by her.

I wanted to learn how to take an oversized men’s shirt and make it fit me. Abra was extremely helpful and explained all the necessary steps. The environment is great- low key and very friendly. I’ve booked another class for next weekend- it’s time i learn how to sew in a zipper!

Abra is an amazing instructor! She has so much knowledge and is very patient in helping people. There are many different classes and sewing machines. There is also a lot of creative energy for independent projects. I am planning on going back for more classes soon. Check this place out!

Open Studio time is amazing! Brian is not only knowledgeable, but incredibly willing to share information and answer all the questions you have. It was a really calm working environment - I can't wait to go back!

My daughter and I both loved this introductory course with Nancy! The pacing and content were just right for us, and we were thrilled to be able to have a completed project at the conclusion of the 90 minutes. Nancy is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. I could not recommend this class more highly for anyone who wants to try sewing. We both absolutely loved it!!

Self-taught sewist starting my first tissue pattern, ran into a lot of problems (how to attach two curved pieces together? how to mark notches on fabric? what was this step even telling me to do? etc.) and decided to try this class out. Sarah not only helped me figure all those issues out, but also made sure to spend the last few minutes of our class running through the rest of the instructions with me to make sure I was set up for success. She was friendly, patient, and most importantly, did a great job of explaining everything I was confused about. Don't look forward to getting frustrated by a pattern again, but when I inevitably do, I'm very thankful to know Newton Sewing Studio is there for me! Tissue patterns are intimidating stuff.

Abra was a great instructor and she taught me new skills that I can bring forward to the middle school makers classes I teach. I look forward to taking the next class with her.

This was a fun class and Abra made it easy to jump back in after being away from sewing for a while. I feel more confident in doing more challenging projects. AND I love my new bag! I recommend this studio and class.

Great sewing classes! I had Abra for both my classes and she is really knowledgeable and a great teacher. You can begin working independently fairly quickly and everyone in the studio has a really relaxed & friendly vibe

So great! I learned so much from Linda! I’ll be back with friends. Kelly

Such a nice community feel at NSS. And I love my little micropillow - really makes me smile. Plus, I’m gonna exploit these pillow skills with some old curtains…can’t wait to create my own throw pillows!
