The New York Sewing Center is the absolute best place for sewers of all levels. It is located in the heart of the garment district with wonderful teachers ready to help you tackle any new project big or small. And it not just great for adults but kids of all ages, too.

Love love loved taking class here. Amy was my instructor. She made everything easy to understand. Was fun to talk about fashion and geek out with others people sewing. Im definitely taking another class with them. Highly recommend the seeing center!!! Great community.

Ive taken private several lessons at The New York Sewing Center, and Ive been satisfied with all of my instructors. They were very patient and attentive while helping me sew my first tote bag and zipper pouch, step-by-step. One of my instructors really helped me understand how to read a sewing pattern as a beginner, and Im forever grateful for that.

So much expertise, personal attention, prompt and thorough communication, and accommodation for my needs and specific project. The private virtual lessons are SO awesome. Highly recommend!

Excellent instructor. My teen daughter loved i”the course and now wants to pursue a career in fashion. She is truly inspired.

I had ten wonderful hours of private sewing classes. I love this school. I recommend it with a big smile! Please consider bringing a special project to one of their talented private teachers... I did just that and now I have a lovely kaftan that fits me perfectly. If you want a group class, I am sure you will love it. Everyone is very kind. Great place to get a gift certificate for a special sewer in your life. The studio is immaculate, pretty, and the energy is wonderful because all the staff are outgoing and warm. Enjoy. Create. Love.

We absolutely love the New York Sewing Center.Very accommodating and fantastic communication with all the new covid restrictions. My daughter took a few classes and will definitely take more. We live on Long Island and was hoping for a place near by but we are so thrilled with them we have no problem taking the drive regularly.Highly recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did the beginners class. My girlfriend still uses the drawstring backpack I made a year later! And I made some denim pyjama pants.These guys are experts, very experienced and quite intense about sewing. You will learn and do and insight a lot. Not worth missing!

My daughter and I took a semi-private lesson and loved it. The instructors were very helpful and clear, and the facilities were neat and clean. We learned everything we needed to actually start sewing at home—and we managed to make useable tote bags that we got to take with us. Recommend highly!

Had a great experience with private classes as the NYSC. Both of my teachers were very knowledgable and helpful, was able to make two skirts in three classes!

I have nothing but great things to say about this place! Every teacher here is patient and kind and super knowledgeable. I’ve learned so much. This is my happy place and I always look forward to coming here and creating something new :)

The staff are very helpful and kind. They are a great resource.

Very glad we found New York Sewing Center. The people are great to work with and my daughter has learned so much!

Both my kids have taken private and group sewing classes here! Such a great place; instructors awesome and the classes are fun and educational! In garment district - so kids feel like they are having a real fashion industry experience.

I have had such great experiences at NYSC, and Im always impressed with the work Ive done under their instruction! They break down the projects in such a way that even a beginner walks away with something that looks incredibly professional!

Excellent teachers. Classes are fun and informative and you make great things. I love New York Sewing Center.

Had a few issues with the first class. Sewing center reached out to me to offer another lesson and make things right. This is great customer service and fair treatment. I definitely would give them another shot and recommend them. Very professional and much appreciated.

I’ve taken several classes and I love this place! Even brought one of my friends to join one. The instructors are all friendly and provide so much information.

Very knowledgeable warm staff. The project was practical and easy to follow.

A gem! My daughter made a beautiful blanket for her baby cousin. Helpful and friendly staff.

My daughter (14) took online lessons with the New York Sewing Center this summer. We bought her a sewing machine but I dont know how to use it. Her teacher, who was so nice, covered all the basics with her and helped her troubleshoot when there was a problem. Also, all the materials needed for projects were shipped to us within a day or two. She started out sewing a pillow cover, followed by a face mask, and by the end of summer, she made a nice pair of pants. We will definitely come back in the future.

Teacher was very patient and did a great job of answering all my questions. They encourage you to go at your own pace, so I never felt rushed.

Loved the class and plan on taking the next level. The instructor is very knowledgeable and so so patient.

As a middle age man I am probably not the typical student that enrolls in a sewing class but I am happy that I did. As a back achy and knee problem DIY home improvement guy I needed a new weekend hobby to occupy my time now that kids are out of the house. Wife suggested taking up sewing so I enrolled in this class and it was great. For any guy who wants to tinker with creating things and not breaking your back, try this sewing class, youll be glad you did.

Ive taken 2 classes and have dealt with a few instructors. They are all so patient and knowledgeable. It was a great experience.

Wonderful place! very nice staff! highly recommend, i learned a lot !

I had a wonderful experience at the New York Sewing Center!! Amy was a fantastic teacher and was very patient with me and the class! She explained everything and took her time to make sure we understood every step!! Thank you and so glad we finished our class on March 12th, right before the world shut down due to Covid 19!!

I LOVED my experience with NY Sewing Center. They worked with me on my difficult work schedule and customized the class for my exact needs. I still go back if I need additional information on how to do certain projects.

The New York Sewing Center is a great place to take a class. Everyone is super helpful and accommodating and our class was a lot of fun!

One word -fun. And you have a useable garment afterwards that you can say you made yourself.

Great teachers - so patient and great at showing you how to create your own amazing apparel.

We attended the zoom sewing camp in August. My 7 year old loved the classes. The teacher was great and my daughter walked away with 3 bags a dress and a pillow that she made all in one week! We will look to do more classes in the future.

My daughter and I took two classes, boot camp and sewing 101, we really enjoyed it and learned so much, ended up buying new sewing machines and now have a new hobby. I highly recommend taking classes if you really want to sew.

The NYSC is a great place for people of all levels to expand and grow their sewing abilities. I took the 101 course and a few 102 classes and these have equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to take on various projects independently during this pandemic. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, and good teachers of sewing technique. Im excited to return and take more classes someday!

Ive been taking private lessons at NY Sewing Center for almost 2 years. I have had a few different instructors, all wonderful. They worked with me and made sure I learned and had fun. The early lessons got me through the pandemic. The safety guidelines it has implemented are easy to follow and make it possible for me to continue to create. Lauren & Amy are wonderful teachers and new friends. Cant beat the price to feel at home in the garment center. Theyve taken me from pot holders to PJs.

The NY Sewing Center is great! They have taught my daughter how to sew and their virtual lessons and in person ones have been amazing through Covid! My daughter can make all sorts of bags, which are her favorite. The teachers are helpful, thoughtful, fun, and knowledgable. I could not recommend them more highly.

The basic sewing 101 was a great course to take and Amy was an amazing teacher. I recommend anyone who wants to learn sewing to take classes here.

Class sizes are small the staff has a vast knowledge of all things sewing and you can get private lessons when you really need it which is great and I recommend.

The New York Sewing Center is a wonderful center to learn and create. I learned how to make lingerie in person and Face Masks on-line. The women teachers are very personable and helpful. Go Create, its so much fun!

I got excellent instruction from these folks. It was money well spent.

I highly recommend the New York Sewing Center for anyone interested in beginning a journey in sewing or clothing design. I learned in five hours what some courses teach over the course of a two-year program thanks to the excellent (and patient) teaching skill of Anthony. Im grateful a program like this exists for students and hobbyists who dont have the budget or bandwidth to take on a two year course.

All the teachers here are wonderful😍😍

Had 2 fulls days of Private lessons and loved it! Exactly what I needed as a beginner and with the nicest and most patient staff. THANK YOU NY SEWING CENTER!

Great! Learned alot as you should in a class. Great instructor.

Amazing customer service! Highly recommend!

This place is such a good option for learning to sew. I took a 1-1 lesson and then joined the group 102 sessions, both of which really helped develop my skills. I highly recommend this place.

They are very professionals on time and polite I recommend these people to anyone who is a beginner

I have taken courses both in person and virtually at NYSC and I love it! Chloe is a wonderful and patient instructor. I look forward to finishing my Summer Wardrobe class and taking additional courses!

......Never Been Yet, but Classes and Space looks Very Appealing....2020....!!!!

Great teachers and friendly staff all around! Love that the classes are small and I can actually leave with more knowledge and confidence, compared to NY Design School or Mood Sewing Class. Also, the teachers give you very useful tips that you may not discover in books or on YouTube so the process gets more interesting and less intimidating. Im only a beginner but I hope that they will offer more courses in the future cause Ill definitely come back

Patient knowledgeable teachers. Wish they had a financial assistance program tho.

Great experience & great instructors. I learned so much in such little time 🥳

Conveniently, located in the heart of what remains of the Garment District (so you can get your supplies easily and quickly before the session), the NYSC is a wonderful place to take sewing classes. The instruction is perfectly tailored to your level, the physical space is inspiring, and the machine layout encourages learners to learn from one another as well as the teacher. The beginner course is a great refresher for those of us who have learned and forgotten and then re-learned and forgotten the basics. And at a minimum you walk away with a sweet made-by-you drawstring pouch and a zippered pencil case. They even let busy New Yorkers make up a missed class because we all know something will come up. Schedule permitting, I will be taking another class once the year gets going to complete my 3rd project (the waistband and hem on a smart-ish chambray skirt), to deepen my knowledge of sewing techniques, get some pointers, and maybe finally make that boho beach top Ive been thinking about. Now if they cold only open up an adjacent knitting atelier...

Had a great time. Took a beginners one-night class with my girlfriend where you drink wine and make a tote bag. We had a blast. A great date!

I have taken Sewing 101, as well as several private lessons here - both were such a good investment! The teachers all go above and beyond to make sure students are learning the skills they are after, and they were super accommodating the few times I had to reschedule a session or miss a class. Highly recommend!!

Writing this review now, which is LONG overdue. The entire team at the sewing center is amazing and highly skilled at their craft! Can’t thank them enough for how much they’ve taught me!!!

Very good school. Haven’t taken 101 so I can’t speak for it but for 102, I would recommend having some solid knowledge because if the class is packed, it can be hard to get a lot of time with the teacher. Otherwise I have taken a private class and they’re awesome. Highly recommend!

Great experience, highly recommend.

This is my first experience with sewing. I’m loving it because I’ve had fantastic teachers at the Sewing Center. They’re all extremely talented and warm people. Each one has different backgrounds which is quite helpful and makes the classes and private lessons more interesting.Kristine, the owner, responds very quickly to emails and requests.I highly recommend them to anyone who is either a beginner or just wanting to continue improving your skills. There is always something new to learn!

Love taking classes at NYSC as they are always great (now due to Covid - on Zoom). All the instructors are knowledgeable, patient and professional — no matter what level you are sewing at. Looking forward to creating more pieces for my wardrobe! Thanks Kristine and the entire staff at NYSC.

A wonderful school with instructors who are passionate about their craft. I took a Sip and Sew beginner tote bag sewing class with a friend and loved it so much that I started private sewing lessons as well.

I have taken both group classes and private lessons here and have walked away each time inspired and much more knowledgable than going in. What I have also appreciated about the center is the kind and helpful staff, who are dedicated to making your project succeed.

I signed up to the taking the Centers Sewing 101 class. It was awesome. I learned so much on Day 1. Mary is an excellent teacher and though there is a curriculum, she happily answered any question I had about sewing, fabrics, pattern grading, and techniques. During 101 you learn how to sew a zipper, general sewing techniques, threading the machine and bobbin (honestly the most difficult part about learning how to sew), how to read a pattern, use a pattern, how to understand fabric grainlines, and you sew a garment. I made a wrap skirt and my classmate made some pants. You get a lot of hands on attention. I will definitely be signing up for another class. They offer such a wide array depending on what you want to learn which is super cool. I highly recommend it!

The sewing 101 class does not TEACH you anything or leave you with any skills. It just gives you some directions in class to work on a project and moves on to the next project. You will never have the time to digest anything and really learn how to SEW. Its was very misleading when they stated 101. Following directions in class isnt hard but leaving the place you will feel like you didnt learn anything. I truly think this is a terrible structure. Also once you get there you have to buy more supplies from THEM to continue the projects. When asked if I can get some help w/project she simply stated, we dont have the space for you to start your project here. I understand that, but if its 101 then they should give us projects they can accommodate to proceed in class. I dont think this place is for anyone expecting a 101 class. I think the staff was friendly but at the same time were not explaining in a way for us to remember anything, all the directions were towards a specific project and not LEARNING how to sew.

My daughter and I enjoyed the classes and our fun creations!

My daughter had a great experience at the New York Sewing Center. The teachers are kind and patient. They make sure the kids finish all their sewing projects to boost their confidence and also have a fun & lasting experience.

Taken group (beginner course) and private classes here. Have loved both experiences and have learned so much!! Highly recommend :)

Amazing place to learn the Art of Sewing 🧵!

What do you get your husband of 17 years for his birthday? My husband has complained for years about his ill fitting shirts. I bought him a Brother sewing machine for Christmas and for his birthday I bought a block of time for sewing tutors to come to our home. This was the perfect gift, My husband was surprised and he can now fit his own dress shirts. He was so happy with the sewing center tutors, that he is still buying blocks of time for more lessons. Now he wants to start making his own shirts from top to bottom. Brooks Brothers is still awesome but now my husband and I have a brand new hobby that we can do together. Thank you to the New York Sewing Center and Project Runway. Our tutor is Timothy who my husband recognized from Season 3 of Project Runway.

Hadnt sewn in decades & was searching for a place to refresh my skills. FIT not suitable of home sewers. Finally found the New York Sewing Center and had a great experience. They patiently guided me through adapting a pattern size and then sewing a gorgeous evening dress. They are knowledgeable, creative, and super skilled. Highly recommend.

I booked a 1-to-1 class to help me fit a bodice for a gala event. The teacher was great and really helped me. Would go back again.

Ive been taking classes at NY Sewing Center on and off for over one year -- both private lessons with the owner (Kristine) and group classes. My experience has been uniformly excellent. The teachers are all professionals in the fashion industry and are very knowledgeable. Intermediate sewing 102 is the only sewing class Ive found in NYC where you can make exactly what you want (with help from an expert as needed) rather than having to make a garment/pattern selected by the school. Kristine is super flexible and has all sorts of great ideas about building a sewing community at the studio.

Last year, I took sewing 101 without any previous sewing experience. By the end of the class, I felt confident in making anything, after having sewn a draw string bag, a cosmetic zipper case, and pajama pants (the other option was a pencil skirt) in the class. Kristine and Erin , the instructors, were patient and gave lots of great feedback to ensure that each student knew what to do every step of the way. (The classes are very small!) We also learned how to use a pattern, which has since allowed me to make many other pieces of clothing.I was so impressed with this class that a year later, I brought my own students to the school. (Im a school teacher.) My school-age students had never touched a machine, and yet, by the end of the sewing boot-camp, they had made several items, like a tote bag and pencil case. They loved Kristine and felt very at ease with the machine because of her teaching. I cant recommend the New York Sewing Center and its teachers enough! They are all wonderful. If you want to learn how to sew or need some brushing up, this is the place to go!

I came across an accessory design idea several months ago but having had zero sewing experience I didnt know if I would even be able to turn my idea into something tangible. I found the New York Sewing school and have been taking private lessons so I can learn at my own speed. The instructors are extremely talented, patient, and passionate about their trade! Im looking forward to perfecting and taking my designs to the next level with the help of Kristine and Jen! - Diana

I took my nieces to New York Sewing Center in August of 2014 , they were 11 and 12 yrs old. I wanted them to learn a craft that I enjoy and love. I could not ask for a better place 😊 especially for private lessons. Kristine and Erin are awesome, knowledgeable and patient. Four years later one of my nieces has come for private lessons, for specific projects she wants to learn and she comes from Jersey just for that. You will learn and more importantly, you will have fun.

For a few years, I craved learning how to sew with a sewing machine. I finally gave in, signed myself up for a beginners workshop and enjoyed every moment. The instructor was clear with every detail while taking us through the steps of creating our project.

I researched sewing classes for beginners in Manhattan and found the New York Sewing Center. I am so glad i did! The instructors are experienced; all coming from well know fashion houses and skilled at teaching students at all levels. I never sewed a thing in my life and after taking a few classes Im no longer (very) intimidated. Its a great organization with very patient and personable employees and I highly recommend it.

Great instruction, great set up. A valuable life skill and Im happy to have it under hand.

The instructors are amazing and dedicated... I learned how to make sweatpants, sweaters and very good looking jackets in only 3 months.

When I needed to refresh my sewing skills, I took a sewing 101 class at The New York Sewing Center. The courses are kept small (probably at 12 maximum), and you get a very hands-on experience from knowledgable and patient instructors for a reasonable price. Sometime later I enrolled in an intermediate sewing class in which students get to select their own project and receive what is essentially personalized instruction from the teacher. I couldnt recommend it highly enough!

I took 1 on 1 class and have to say, very happy about it. Nice place and teaches are care about every student. We also got complementary class as well. Highly recommend.

I took two workshops with the New York Sewing Center and both were fantastic. One was a custom workshop and the other was a bowtie making workshop. Thoroughly enjoyed both!

The staff is so friendly and helpful. The school is very well run. I have learned so much and can’t thank them enough.

Great, patient, and helpful instructors -- I had a great experience both in one of their classes and in a 1-on-1 private session. Will definitely be coming back and I recommend it to anyone interesting in sewing!

Ive been so impressed with the sewing center. They have been so encouraging and are clearly very experienced. Kristine even stayed 20 minutes late in a private lesson just to help me get to a stopping point on one of my projects. If youre looking for a place to start from scratch, like me, or take your sewing to a more professional level, this is your spot.

Im halfway through the Sewing 101 course and am thoroughly enjoying myself. Timothy is an excellent instructor and I have already learned to sew in a zipper! I look forward the rest of the course and making my skirt, and hope to continue with New York Sewing Center and more advanced projects.

The NYC sewing center is wonderful. Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable and talented. You will learn alot and have a great time!

Absolutely wonderful!! The New York Sewing Center has equipped and empowered my daughter to put her fashion skills and dreams into action. The center is extremely friendly, patient and organized. My daughter is totally hooked and will be signing up for more classes.

I have been taking classes at The New York Sewing Center for a few months now and absolutely love it! They offer a wide range of class options and will bend over backwards to help make classes work around your schedule, sewing level, and sewing goals. I researched a lot of options before deciding to take classes here (including FIT & Parsons) but NYSC is the perfect fit for those working and not looking to go back to school full time. On top of everything they offer private lessons and business consulting for those looking to start their own line!

I’m so impressed with The New York Sewing Center. Though I sewed as a child, I never learned formally. The New York Sewing Center offered FaceTime instruction, which would save me from having to travel into the city. Not only that, the staff was so accommodating and helpful in answering my many questions. I will be taking classes in their studio soon. I definitely recommend The New York Sewing Center. I know you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing sewing machine course for beginners. Highly recommended!

The instructors are great and Sewing 101 is worth every penny. I definitely plan on taking other classes they offer.

My twin 12 year old girls did classes during February break last year and really loved the classes and what they made. Also a beautiful facility with great light.

I needed help with personal slopers and my instructor was spot on! She has the eye and immediately diagnosed and fixed issues and patiently answered my questions. I recommend NY Sewing Center highly - not only do you learn a lot, you are surrounded by kind, interesting people.

Such an easy delightful experience! The instructors are wonderful and the private lessons are so convenient. Highly recommend:))

They are awesome. I cant remember my instructors name but she was amazing.She made me feel comfortable and she boosted my confidence in the sewing department.

Everyone that works here is amazingly helpful, patient, and kind. Ive taken Sewing 101 and a few 102 classes. Its been a great experience and would recommend The New York Sewing Center to anyone.

Our daughter had a few private lessons and LOVED them! Amy came to the house and was patient and fun and taught useful and relevant tips for using the sewing machine and hand stitching. Would recommend the New York Sewing Center wholeheartedly!!

Our Instructor, Timothy is amazing!! Not only is he very knowledgeable about sewing, but he is patient and super optimistic about everything. He does a great job keeping me motivated despite my many mistakes and questions. I am thoroughly enjoying my Sewing 101 class.

I was quite hesitant. I enjoyed the class, learn many technics and teachers are so patient and fun to learn from. I recommend this class to anyone with interest to learn. Students were so kind as well. One cannot learn from youtube what one can learn from this class!
