Customized Mending, Sewing, and Basic Upcycling Class!
Experience my commitment to creating fun, authentic, and bold activities while shattering stereotypes and shifting perceptions.
Perfect for beginners and those looking to refine their sewing skills. This class covers essential techniques like hand-sewing, patching, hemming, sewing on buttons, and simple alterations. And how to make a "FANCY FANNY PACK!"
A sewing machine is not required! However, if you have a sewing machine, I'd be happy to help you set it up, get familiar with how it works, and show beginners and avid sewers some fun tricks to level up your sewing game. :)
We can rework your favorite garments that need TLC!
You’ll leave my classes with the confidence to repair and personalize your wardrobe, embracing sustainable fashion while reducing waste.

Perfect! Taryn was very professional and knowledgable. Offering many creative and artistic possibilities.
Perfect! Taryn was amazing! I’ve been wanting to learn to use a sewing machine for a very long time. Taryn was so patient, kind and inspiring! I loved learning about her passion for upcycling and sharing with her some of the creative ideas I have for designing clothing. She was so helpful in encouraging my ideas and helping me think through how to approach my projects in different ways. Highly recommend!
Perfect! The best one out there! ️️️️️ Worth every penny. Taryn was born to be a teacher! The level of patience this person has is unreal. She is extremely knowledgeable, neat, nice, and encouraging. I always thought sewing wasn’t for me and was skeptical about spending money on lessons. But Taryn makes it seem so easy! She gives you nice tricks, hints, etc. I’m in my 3rd lesson and I created very nice projects already!! I’m so blessed to have found her! Seek no more.
- Gra is the kindest person with the biggest heart. She is patient with herself while also getting excited about learning new things. I enjoy the time I get to spend with her.Taryn's response :

Details
I recommend the 10-hour package deal to set you up for sewing success.
I recommend 3 hours per session minimum.
Sew at your own pace...set up your supplies (and machine if you have one), review the class, and do the work.
We will focus on one project per class based on your sewing level.
Class 1: Beginners hand sew or machine sew a pillow. Learn about the machine or learn multiple hand-sewing techniques. We will build on what you learn in the following lesson. (3 hours)
Class 2: T-shirt Totes and Fancy Fanny Packs. Learn 2-3 hand sewing/machine sewing techniques and how to sew on a button. (3 hours)
Class 3 & 4: 2 hours each lesson or one 4-hour lesson. Choose your project to work on. We will reimagine clothing items that have been bugging you. The goal is for you to love them again! (4 hours)
NOTE: If you have a project in mind before starting class, I am happy to customize a lesson plan and curate a class that meets your needs and desires!
NOTE: If you check out my Instagram account, you will see videos of the different levels of upcycling: 2nd-5th graders, high school students, college, and more.
