Common Thread is a sewing studio in Claremont offering sewing lessons for kids and teens in a workshop-like setting.
Our guided classes provide a positive, collaborative, fun, and safe environment where kids can learn valuable, life-long skills; gain self-confidence; explore their creative side, and feel pride in their completed projects and 
accomplishments!
No prior experience is needed and students quickly learn how to operate a sewing machine and use patterns and sewing tools.
We provide all supplies: sewing machines, thread, fabric, dress forms, iron, notions, patterns, and more! Students are also welcome to bring their own patterns and fabric.
There is something for everyone!
Our open sewing studio allows students to advance at their own pace and work on projects they find most interesting and exciting. Beginners start with the three projects in our beginning series: a tote bag, zipper bag, and pajama shorts. Once these projects are completed, they can choose from our extensive library of patterns. More experienced sewers move on to more challenging projects.
Because of this system, there may be multiple projects going on in a class--someone is making a quilt, while someone else is making a skirt, and yet another student in the same week of class may be making a stuffed animal. In my 5 years of running a sewing studio, we have found that this method works best, and each student’s project is inspiring and encouraging to the students who are seeing the process in that same class.
