I have been developing my sewing skills for almost 20 years. Sew Fast Sew Easy is where I started. I took every class that the owner, Elissa, taught. Why?
Because after taking my first class, I could tell that I was going to learn skills that I could use going forward - not just for one project.
Because I wanted to learn how to sew clothing that looked ""well made"" not ""home made"".
Because she isn't stingy with her knowledge -- Elissa is willing to share the skills that she learned from years working as a designer. (Yes, she has a REAL background as a professional clothing designer!!)
From what I learned at SFSE as my foundation, I went on to earning my tailoring certification at FIT. I sew everything from tailored jackets to elaborate evening gowns. Now I have decided to change careers and am in the process of putting together my own clothing line.
I got an incredible return on the money that I spent at SFSE. It turned out to be an investment in myself.
There are a whole slew of places in NYC that advertise sewing classes. If you are looking for a nice, easy going way to spend a couple of evenings - then maybe this isn't the place for you. If you want to learn how to sew -- and I mean Really Learn How To Sew, give this place a try.
