Sewing Lab Los Alamitos — Local services in Los Alamitos

Where to start…. I love the sewing lab. I signed up for the adult beginner class with ZERO sewing knowledge and after two classes I have made a drawstring pouch, pajama shorts, a two sided canvas tote bag with pockets, and my big project was a vintage 1960’s dress! I had so much fun learning how to use my machine and all the sewing basics. Camilla the teacher and owner is so nice and knowledgeable, she made learning to sew a breeze. She also has a shop at the lab with all the sewing tools and machines you could need. I loved the learning and workshop atmosphere, all the other students (whose skills ranged from beginner to advanced) were so nice and encouraging so that definitely helped!! It was inspiring to see the other projects being worked on by other students. Please visit if you are into sewing you...

A group of us friends decided we wanted to learn how to sew.

Cian is our instructor for beginners sewing class and she is incredibly detail oriented. We go through everything you need to know about the machine, threading it, bobbins, patterns, how to read a pattern, how to choose the right fabric, how to trim and use patterns. Everything you can think of. She is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. It is always a joy to go to class! So far we’ve made, a pouch, pillow case, pajama shorts. We have a last project that is TBD! But you truly get to work at your own pace. Everything is provided for you.

Highly recommend anyone who is interested in sewing to take a class!

The store itself is very well kept with a lovely selection of fabrics and Janome machines. Camilla has been lovely every time...

This place looks promising. I’m looking forward to taking a class. I’ll updated this after I take a class. From the outside it looks pretty epic. Looks like it has a store to purchase helpful goodies. This is what I love to see in businesses.

To add some fun facts about me. I’ve always had a love for fashion. It started with watching my mother sew 🧵 she worked in a factory when she first got to America in 1973, 17 years old. Throughout my life she always sewed something either to fixing or hem something or she’d make something.

This store brings up such great memories of being a child. I’m a lucky man to have had the privilege of growing up with a sewing machine. I have a sewing machine. I want to learn to use it. Thanks...
