Stiger’s hunch was correct, as 10 years later her classes are filled months in advance, she said. The shop offers classes and private lessons for all ages as well as sewing parties where students can make costumes and drink champagne. Stiger said everyone leaves with something they are proud of. Class capacity is six at the maximum due to limited physical space.
“I'm at the point now where I really do need to grow because summer camps are sold out. Everyone's trying to get in. I'm completely booked from now until mid-August. That's kind of frustrating for people when they want to learn to sew and they can't get in for two months. ... So if you're thinking about taking a class, you should sign up while there's an opening because they do go fast,” Stiger said.
Class hours are Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-2 p.m. For more information, call 832-264-1119 or visit www.sewhouston.com.
