Services
Camps are day-long or multi-day sewing events for YOU or your children. During sewing camp, students have the opportunity to spend a longer time sewing, while acquiring a deeper skill level. We make our camps FUN by offering an open, flexible and supportive environment, allowing students to choose the project they work on, within the scope of the camp day(s) or week.
Fashion Studies is an multi-faceted program for aspiring Fashion Students, from Middle School through Adult. In this semester long program, students learn the fundamentals of Fashion Design while being taught & mentored by industry professionals. Through this program, students build a strong foundation of fashion centered skills while building their portfolio(s).
Most of our classes at THE SEWING ROOM follow a Sewing Studio format. Sewing Studio time is WEEKLY time in the workshop with an expert who will guide you through a project of your choice. With the exception of Private Lessons & our Machine Basics classes, which are a shorter duration, each month-long session allows students to get enough hours of sewing time and instruction to complete a project.
We carry a variety of fabrics including some of the Rifle Paper Co. Florals from Cotton & Steel. You can find printed and solid cottons, rayons, woolens and silks on our shelves in addition to a small selection of knits. You can find, view and purchase our fabrics and most of the patterns we carry in our Etsy Shop.
Our Sewing for Teams package is perfect for team building, office parties or staff appreciation. Through Sewing and/or Fashion activities, participants will exit their daily routine and enter a creative space. Activities and projects are geared toward creative thinking and teamwork. Sewing together is a fantastic and productive way to spend with friends, your birthday or baby/wedding shower.

The Sewing Room Alameda is my third attempt at learning fashion illustration.
I’ve taken fashion illustration classes before. Once at a local community college and at an apparel design school.
I have learned so much more at The Sewing Room (Alameda) than I did at both the schools put together.
Julie is a awesome teacher. You can tell she’s an experienced well seasoned teacher. The classes online are small so Julie is able to attend to each student’s individual needs.
She acknowledges her students growth and improvements and gives praise.
She breaks the information down so that it’s

Today I did my first virtual sewing class with Jennifer. It was great! Very easy to sign in and Bam! There is Jennifer waiting for you. Multiple people can join which is great because everyone can interact with each other. The great thing for me as a beginner is that Jennifer made it so easy for me to follow and understand as I moved along with my project and felt confident to finish my project. I look forward to the next virtual class. Thank you Jennifer for offering virtual classes, but mostly for being such a patient, wonderful teacher. 😍

Recently participated in a Zoom-hosted Surgical Mask sew along with other home based sewers and Jennifer of the Sewing Room. The Zoom format was fantastic! Jennifer walked everyone through each step of two mask making tutorials with clear visual and descriptive instructions and answered any questions along the way. The Zoom format was a great way to build sewing time into an otherwise busy schedule and connect with others even though we were all in different places. Highly recommend any Zoom sewing experiences with The Sewing Room, or any sewing instruction opportunities with Jennifer!
