Antoinette is a phenomenal teacher. I signed up for the 8-week beginner series and picked up basic sewing skills very quickly — I even went home with a finished pillow after my first class! I found the class structure really conducive to learning and retaining skills.

What a find. Antoinette is an amazing teacher with a beautiful light-filled sewing studio in Washington, DC. I looked all over for sewing classes in the DC area and decided to try Antoinette's Intro to Sewing class. Even in Antoinette's group classes the instruction is individualized. She really empowers her students and sends you home with patterns and things to practice on.

I loved taking the beginner's quilting class with Antoinette. I hadn't used a sewing machine in over 10 years, but she broke the quilt down into really manageable steps. Her goal is to help the people in her class become independent makers, and I feel like she absolutely met that mark for me. If I want to make a quilt again in the future, I'll have the skills and knowledge needed to do so comfortably.

I signed up for two individual introductory classes with Antoinette with the intention to just learn the basics of how to use my sewing machine for small alterations, and see if I liked the classes. I found that I really enjoyed the projects we did, especially given Antoinette's patient and thorough instruction. I quickly signed up for the next 6 weeks of class and completed the most adorable little toddler bomber jacket! I feel confident that I can tackle other projects now.

Antoinette is a great sewing teacher for any level. I've even brought in my own machine and she's helped me adjust it and figure out how it works.
