Nope! Sew+Sew has sewing machines you can use during your session. We have heavy duty machines, sergers, and a coverstitch machine. You are also welcome to bring in your sewing machine if you would like to use it. If you do bring your own machine, be sure to remember bobbins and your power cord.

Gotta start somewhere! You can sign up for one of our Intro to Sewing workshops or a private lesson and learn sewing machine basics and finish a small project in one day.

Due to our limited space, all reservations are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, please contact phillysews@gmail.com within 48 hours of purchase. No rescheduling within 72 hours of Studiotime (emergency exceptions only)

Absolutely! We know how easy it is to have a favorite tool.

You are responsible for your pattern, instructions, fabric, thread, and notions - unless the workshop includes it (which will be clear in the listing) or other arrangements have been made.

All your fabric and notions requirements will be listed in your pattern instructions. How much fabric you need will be based on the size and type of project you are making. The project will have fabric options recommended for that specific project.

Unfortunately, not. While we are on the first floor, it does require stepping up and down 5 steps to reach our space.

That is going to be specific to your project and personal ability. Always assume it will take a little longer than expected.

Our machines are heavy duty but not industrial. Thickness in jeans and canvas is ok but please note some fabrics may not work with our set up. We caution against thick leathers and vinyl with these machines.

We have a variety of sewing machines for visitors to use. Standard machines, 3 and 4 thread sergers, and a coverstitch machine. The majority of our machines are from between 1968-1989.
