History
The Sewing & Design School opened in September 2012 in downtown Tacoma, WA. 2 years later the school moved to a new location, 4424 - 6th Ave, in Tacoma. After a long and rewarding career teaching sewing to adults and teens at a local technical college, I just didn't want the fun to end! I also felt there was a great demand to provide our community with affordable classes on a variety of topics, including custom made clothing, pattern fitting and alterations, pattern drafting, and textiles. Students who have taken our classes not only come away with refined sewing skills, but the confidence to start their own businesses, find jobs in the fashion and design industry, or earn 4-year degrees. In fact, our students are armed with the knowledge necessary to be accepted by prestigious schools such as the University of Washington, Oregon State University, Fashion Institute of Technology, FIT in New York.
