We just finished up the last weekend of the winter kid’s sewing classes and had such a blast helping kids finish up projects! Here is just a sampling of the work completed, and many kids will continue working on their projects into the spring classes which start soon! We have only 1 spot left in the spring on Saturday afternoon. And don’t forget to check out the summer camps, many are filling fast and a few are already full! #kidscansew #kidssewingclasses #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses

Oh my gosh! How adorable is this little pup in her new coat! @peculiar_ruby_blue started this during a private session with @elleofhousekaplan and finished it at home. So much fun to see the completed project being modeled. Super adorable 🥰. Nice work! #pghsews #pghsewists #dogclothesmaking #sewingfordogs

I just love sharing what these kids can make! Be sure to grab your spot in a summer camp before they all fill! Sign up online at cutandsewstudio.com #kidssewingclasses #kidscansew #sewingclassesforkids #pghsewingclasses #pghsewists #pghsews

Looking for a fun camp this summer? Take a look at this sweet little skirt made by @clothofrigg for the patchwork skirt camp! Students will make this skirt with their favorite assortment of fabrics, and also a t-shirt dress. Skirt pattern is from @violettefieldthreads - we love it and think it will definitely be a student favorite! Check out this camp and other available camps online! A few camps are already sold out but there are still lots of choices available, just don’t wait till they are all gone! #kidscansew #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #pghsummercamp #pghsummer

Ok, so it’s quick, but not that quick. But I did cut and make these in 45mins! Such a great, simple, basic pant that you can use to build your wardrobe. And sometimes it’s nice for a quick sewing garment. The @100actsofsewing are great patterns for beginner sewists (don’t expect it to be sewn in under an hour if you’re new to sewing!)- but even for me, everything you make doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s nice to change things up. Everything for this, including the label, from @firecrackerfabrics . Please ignore my mismatched socks, it was that kind of morning 🤣 #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #pantsno1 #labelsbykatm

Working on some new summer pants. These are going to be #pantsno1 from @100actsofsewing in a dark blue cotton crepe from @firecrackerfabrics - this stuff washes lovely and has a beautiful texture and should be super soft and comfy for summer teaching. #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #makingclothes #makingclothesbringsmejoy

This is just too cute for words! @rhowebrooks made this during the daytime pattern basics class for her 4 year old daughter- fabric is a French terry from @firecrackerfabrics - sparkly heart buttons and pattern are also from Firecracker- and look at the amazing job she did on those bias tape finished curves. Plus, the little ears! The pattern is marked as easy, but it’s definitely not an easy pattern. It’s a bit tricky to follow since there are lots of versions and it can be a little tricky finding the correct directions to follow and jumping around in the instruction sheet. So I wouldn’t recommend this for a first pattern to follow. Using a woven fabric would help aid in making it an easier sew. Pattern @ikateecouture #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses

Classes coming up with space, this week and next! Sign up at cutandsewstudio.com and if you have any questions please feel free to send a message my way! And in case you’re interested I am wearing the #lindensweatshirt in a French terry from @firecrackerfabrics (sleeves are leftover fabric from a baby wrap/carrier I had for my son as an infant, another soft French terry that I found a new use for once I no longer needed the carrier!) #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses

Summer dress camp! Only 3 spots left! Check out this camp and the others that are still available at cutandsewstudio.com #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsummer #pghsummercamp #kidssewingclasses

This talented young sewist is piecing together a beautiful dress for her doll- she took a basic doll dress pattern and color blocked it. Drew all the style lines, cut the pattern and added seam allowance where needed. I am so impressed with what she has done so far. Superb work! #pghsewists #pghsews #pghsewingclasses #kidscansew

This young sewist just finished up the best little cropped hoodie ever. Super soft fleece from @firecrackerfabrics - great work on this one! #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #kidscansew

These young sewists just finished their new structured tote bags (pattern design courtesy of @southatlanticstitch) - they will make the perfect sewing bag to carry their supplies to class! Bags have a magnetic snap closure and an inside zipper pocket too! #kidscansew #kidssewingclasses #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses

This is just the most creative use of scraps ever! This student used her extra time after finishing her project and dug through the studio scraps to make a Jiff peanut butter jar dog toy for her pet! I 😍this! We still have just 2 spots left in the spring kids sewing classes and summer camp enrollment is open. Check it out at cutandsewstudio.com #kidscansew #kidssewingclasses #pghsewingclasses #pghsewists #pghsews

Look at this amazing #woolandwaxtote from the #everydayessentialsbook by @noodlehead531 - fabric and book with pattern from @firecrackerfabrics, we made a slight modification and added a magnetic snap closure to this one….check out the next daytime class starting next week and the next evening class starting the end of March. You can sign up for the class online. #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #patternbasicsclass #patternbasics

Those of you who have been to the studio know I have a wall of photos at the back that was seriously needing and update as I hadn’t updated the pics through all of COVID- I had such a blast taking a walk down memory lane as I had all these pics printed and hung them at the studio. This is just a sampling of what some of our amazing students have made over the past couple years. Take a look and you may just find yourself or someone you know in a picture! Be sure to check out the pics the next time you are in for class! #pghsewingclasses #pghsewists #pghsews #sewingstudio

This young sewist made the #pixiedress by @violettefieldthreads and it looks AMAZING 🤩in this fabric combination from @firecrackerfabrics - we still have a few spring class spots left and some of the summer camps are already full or nearly full so check out the schedule online and grab a spot while you can! #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #kidscansew #kidssewing #kidssewingclasses #kidssummercamp

Some lovely work from this week’s intro to sewing class! #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #introtosewing #learntosew

This is the #brumbyskirt by @megannielsenpatterns which I absolutely adore and never shared when I first made it a long while back! I have made 3 skirts from this pattern (a denim version with exposed brass zipper and a gray corduroy). This one I skipped the exposed zipper as I felt it was more suited to the baby cord which I love and got from @firecrackerfabrics - the skirt is paired with my newly made #nikotop in an amazing ribbed knit from @firecrackerfabrics #pghsews #pghsewists #imadeit #imadeitmyself

Here are all of the amazing pillows from tonight’s #introtosewing class. Such a fun night - you all did an amazing job! #pghsews #pghsewists #pghsewingclasses #learntosew @cutandsewstudio

This young sewist showing off her new @stylearc Zoe kidspinafore #sazoekidspinafore in a beautiful soft baby corduroy from @firecrackerfabrics - she left class on Friday having to complete her button hand sewing at home and I was thrilled to see the finished jumper!
