Open Studio Hours
Open Studio Hours
August 29th, 2026.
Join Lauren in her studio for a personalized, one-on-one, studio experience where she’ll help you work through current projects that have you stumped, tackle your growing mending pile, learn a specific technique or skill, etc. You’ll have access to Lauren’s expertise and studio space, along with the possibility of learning & using some of her specialized machines (ex: serger, coverstitch, or industrial straight stitch). You will also have access to some of her textile remnants and/or notions to use in your projects.
This is set up by the hour and more of a “choose your adventure” type of learning setting. Stay for an hour or choose multiple slots for a longer work day. Sewing projects usually take longer than you think, so make sure to allow for plenty of creativity, problem-solving, and time to construct & sew when making your selection. Depending on your skill level and difficulty of your projects, the hope is that you’ll either complete a project or leave with the knowledge and skills to complete your project at home. Plus, you’ll gain a stronger understanding of industry-standard sewing.
Are you ready to hone those skills?
Open to Intermediate & Advanced Sewers. Mask-Required.
*Beginners welcome, however, basic knowledge of machine sewing is preferred. Email Lauren with any questions!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please bring a large and varied selection of sewing-related projects to work on. Although Lauren has quite a bit of knowledge in the realms of fashion design, patternmaking, sewing, fibers, art, etc… she does not claim to know everything and, therefore, may not be able to provide guidance on certain projects. Please be as thorough as possible when filling out the form that pops up when purchasing this offering.
