The Sewing Circle

I signed up for the basic Learn to Sew class at this shop after a friend recommended it, and I’m so glad I did! The class was a great introduction to sewing for garments, and I loved that many of the other folks in the class were also interested in garment sewing—it’s clear there’s a growing community for that here in Fort Collins. The class structure was really beginner-friendly: we started by making a pillowcase, then a zippered pouch, and wrapped up with pajama pants. Unfortunately, the pajama pant pattern used wasn’t very size inclusive and didn’t work for about half the class, myself included. But the way the shop responded was truly above and beyond. As soon as we raised the concern, the instructor and owner went out of their way to make it right. They offered us replacement fabric at no cost and gave us support to start over with new pants that would work for our bodies. What really stood out was the personal attention and care from the owner. She took the time—during Shop Hop, no less, which has to be one of their busiest times—to talk with us one-on-one, make sure we felt welcome, and even walk us through how to adjust patterns for different sizes. Her expertise in both garment sewing and machine mechanics was incredibly helpful, especially when I ran into some issues with the machine I brought to class. They also carry a solid selection of garment-friendly fabrics, which is always appreciated locally. I’ve had such a great experience here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this shop to anyone interested in learning to sew or growing their skills. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and community.

Such a lovely shop/studio! I did a beginner workshop and absolutely loved it. They have a huge variety of services, materials, and knowledge. Awesome local business, I’m excited to go back!

This is such a great quilt shop. I’ve only taken one class here, but it was a lot of fun and I learned some new techniques and how to use some new products. On my most recent visit Ryn was super helpful getting me the right materials I needed. I had fun picking out some new fabrics with her and she had a lot of really good suggestions for colors I needed. I think for anybody working on a fabric project, this is a great place to visit – – they are really interested in helping people be successful with their projects.

OMG, this is an oasis and a wonderful place to learn sewing for new and long-time sewists. Staff is incredible as well as the owner, Melissa, who really pours her heart into the world of sewing and quilting etc. We need to get younger folks interested again because this is an absolutely fantastic way to spend one's time creating for oneself and learning a skill that lasts forever!

I have taken sewing garments lessons here, and I have spend many happy times looking through their beautiful fabrics. Just today I found a beautiful shade of linen to make stuffed animal for my newest little neighbor. Great people, great selection

Horrible customer service, rude not helpful treated me like I was dumb and bad attitude

This sewing circle is the happiest experience of my life. It is my happy place. The owner and her staff are second to none. They are all very professional and very accommodating. They are always there at every turn. Thanks so much to a steller owner and staff. You are all AMAZIng!!!
