  • The instructor explained all the steps very clearly. I was a little slower than the other people in the class but he made sure that I knew what was going on still.
  • I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was so kind and helpful, giving me great advice for each step! Highly recommend the class, I use the bag I made pretty much everyday!
  • This class was so much fun! I had no idea what to expect going into it. The instructors were friendly and helpful. And I absolutely love my new tote bag.
  • My wife and her friend had a great time, they really enjoyed the class. I believe Emily was the teacher and they liked her teaching method!
  • Ranger was fantastic! I would take another class with them any day. In between clear instructions and the fire playlist they let us take the lead on the sewing machines and helped us order food from a local spot so we didn't starve. Would definitely recommend this class.
  • Fantastic
  • This was so fun! The whole staff was warm and welcome. Loved picking fabric, and seeing my tote come together. Highly suggest
  • Amazing instructor, kind and knowledgeable. Cool location. Great machines.
  • Great class, my bag came out great! I learned a lot. I would recommend this class to everyone.
  • Sewing 101: Tote Bag was a great intro class! I didn’t have any experience with a sewing machine prior to the class, but the instructor was able to give clear directions and the assignment was easy to follow. Highly recommend the class if you want to get a foundational understanding of a sewing machine and a fun tote bag!
  • This class was great. The fabric options were amazing. The instructor was very nice and was able to explain every step to every person. I loved that everyone in the class moved at their own pace.

  • diana is a great teacher. Very helpful and patient. The store is very cute and has everything you need to take class.
  • The class was great! I'm impressed with how well the teacher explained the steps. Describing how to thread a sewing machine is not easy and she did it very well. Every person started with almost no knowledge and left with a professional-looking tote bag. Really enjoyed this class and will definitely take another.
  • Great class! Perfect for beginners. Had no sewing machine experience before and the class was easy to follow.
  • Great class, taught at a great pace. Really wonderful.
  • This class was phenomenal! I LOVE my bag. The instructor Will was helpful and made the class fun and the owner Chris was so welcoming and personable. 1000% everyone should take this class for their own custom leather tote bag. I’m obsessed with mine!
  • The instructor was super patient and attentive. The machine looked intimidating at first but I felt pretty comfortable after some instruction.
  • I had such a great time making the leather tote bag! I made friends, learned something new, and came home with a beautiful bag that I made!! The teachers were such a pleasure and I loved the space it was in. I cannot wait to go back and try date night with my fiancé.
  • This class was exactly what I was hoping for! I had never touched a sewing machine before and was able to leave the class having a basic understanding of how the machine works, standard vocabulary, and a fab new tote bag! I loved the instructor and definitely plan on taking more classes here!!!
  • Great fun and the most amazing class ever. Sander is a patient and caring teacher, My friends and I had a wonderful time.
  • It was great!
  • Great class. Emily was so awesome and patient. Great store too! Totally recommend!!!
  • I loved this class! The class size and space was small and felt very intimate. Everyone was at a slightly different sewing level, but the instructor was great at helping us all along individually. They also let us stay a little longer than class time to finish our projects
  • My professor, and everything about this class was Spectacular!!!

  • Diana taught a great class, led us individually when we had questions & every student made really gorgeous totes.
  • Intro to Sewing (Evening Series)

    It was a very well constructed class — I felt I learnt how to handle a machine, troubleshoot and also understand how different fabrics behave. And it was lovely that we got to make a pretty tote bag, which I’m thrilled to use! The instructor was outstanding — she was thorough, well-paced, and extremely clear. I’d do more at the institute after this experience.
  • I Made That Bag- Bag making class.

    Awesome class!!

    AMAZING!!! Lorna is an awesome teacher! Bubbly, laughs and two beautiful pieces to take home...that I made! A++

  • Lovely class! I learned all the skills to cut fabric, measure and sew a straight line. Can't wait to do it again!
  • Intro to Sewing (Evening Series)

    Textile arts is a super place. The instruction is so clear and it is a really nice place to learn, review, etc. A very nice vibe and Lin was so kind and knowledgeable. Worth it
  • Intro to Sewing (Evening Series)

    Lin was great. She was very detail-oriented and knowledgeable. Plan to go back for Sewing 101.
  • Intro to Sewing (Evening Series)

    Lin was a great teacher! she taught the basics of the machine, and the class was small enough that we all had her attention when we needed it!
  • The class was great. The teacher was to work with the students individually as the class progressed. It was an afteroon and evening well spent.
  • Genoa Tote

    Great little studio but make sure to get a materials list as you will need to buy everything that you don't bring. Also in no way is the Genoa Tote class for a beginner you must already know how to sew before taking this class.
  • Great class with knowledgeable instructor. Very cute store with nice materials. I plan to take more classes.
  • It was such a productive class! The instructor at Brooklyn Shoe Space, Lorna was very helpful in coming up with a design I would like to make, and she was there every step of the way to walk me through the process. Class was hands on with cutting out material, sewing, applying hardware and the order of how things should be put together. I totally lucked out and got a one-on-one with the instructor since the other student dropped the class! After 2 nights, I had a fantastic leather backpack, and would totally make more on my own!
  • Better than I expected! The instructors were so patient and I walked away with an amazing bag. A lot of people have been asking me about my bag.
  • Joey Casey is a very professional, efficient and hands on instructor. 5 stars!
  • I loved this class! You learn the entire bag-making process, drawing the pattern, cutting out the leather, sewing, etc. Constance and Juan are lovely and very knowledgeable. And to top it all off you leave with an amazing bag!

  • Fashion Lab: Learn-to-Sew Series

    Love the venue, the class size, the attention every single person gets. The classes start off easy and get progressively more challenging. I even wanted to adapt the patters to my dress and got all the help needed. Thank you
