We’re SEW excited to share this new project with you! We lovingly call little Academy of Sewing, Hipstitch because we’d like to think we’re far more hip than the sewing classes you remember taking in 8th grade Home Ec. Hipstitch Academy is your go-to online resource for everything you need to support your business teaching people how to sew! We offer sewing class curriculums, patterns, classes, marketing ideas, instruction manuals, videos trainings, audio trainings, conferences, & even on-site training to help you make your sewing business amazingly successful. Megan Avery, the Hipstitch Academy founder has been teaching sewing to adults and kids for over 16 years. She opened her first creative endeavor, M Avery Designs Sewing Studio in Hoboken, NJ when she saw her community asking for classes & workshops on how to sew & be creative. The M Avery Designs Studio has always taught sewing in a new, modern way unlike the traditional methods of sewing education. We have years of experience teaching countless kids & adults how to sew. Our popular classes & workshops on this traditional craft have helped to foster a love of working with your hands for children and adults, alike. Our rewarding experiences with our studio and our work with other studios around the work has been the driving forces for us to get this work out into the world in a bigger way. We truly believe all people, young & old can benefit from learning how to sew & be creative. Now more than ever, with computer and smartphone screens dominating everyday life, it’s essential to remind people what it’s like to make something from scratch. And the benefits of sewing—developing motor skills, learning responsibility, expressing creativity, and making decisions—foster a healthy sense of independence and appreciation. Hipstitch Academy is our experience, insight and expertise in Sewing + Education. It’s for hobby sewists, small business owners, educators & those wishing to gain a better understanding of sewing and those who desire to teach others how to sew.
