Eight Spots to Learn Sewing and Other Crafts

Facebook/KCNeedlepoint

KC Needlepoint
This full-service needlepoint store on Gregory is a great stop for custom designed needlepoint canvases and fibers. They also offer classes for beginner and experienced needle pointers. We love the virtual access and videos—infinite opportunities to rewind and re-watch!

The Studio KC
Open since 1967, The Studio was originally located in the basement of Brookside Toy and Science. Now, you can take classes and attend events on stitching, knitting, and needlepoint in Overland Park curated by a staff who’s passionate about all things handcrafted! We love their affordable classes available for all skill levels.

Rightfully Sewn
Classes at Rightfully Sewn sell out fast, and they are worth it. The public classes are great for all levels, but their seamstress training program is designed and tailored for the aspiring designer and fashion entrepreneur.

Hadley Clark
Hadley Clark is an artist and traveling teacher, and you can catch her next mending workshop at the Leedy Voulkos Art Center. She also teaches virtual sewing classes and private courses by appointment. Who wouldn’t want to learn from the best?

Facebook/HarpersFabric

Harper’s Fabric & Quilt Co.
The staff at Harper’s Fabric boasts over 500 years of collective sewing experience, and it shows! Whether you’re a beginner or a “Sewphisticate,” classes at the Overland Park spot will leave you feeling ready to tackle your next pattern.

KC Maker Studio
Quilt-making never felt so much fun (or looked so great). Not only are the classes at KC Maker Studio affordable and convenient, they’re accessible to different skill levels and range across new crafts—sewing, quilting, coat-making, and more. 

Facebook/YarnSocialKC

Yarn Social KC
Yarn Social offers both private help sessions and cozy group classes in addition to something they call “Mistake Monday” where you can find help if you’ve made some mistakes with your latest project. A group of seven fiber artists make up Yarn Social, so you know you’re getting expert advice no matter your preferred style!

The Sewing Labs
The legacy of sewing lives on at The Sewing Labs, an inclusive and welcoming community of makers and shakers. Classes happen nearly every day, and some continue over several weeks so book early and prepare for some serious leveling up in your skills.
