It's with a heavy heart that I'm announcing the closing of Craft Haven SF. I will be relocating to Los Angeles at the end of October. I will continue to offer private lessons at my home studio until October 23, 2022.

I will be available for Zoom lessons once I have a new space established in LA, however, I will have very limited availability as I am turning my focus away from teaching and toward the corporate fashion industry.

I have greatly enjoyed teaching ALL of my students through Craft Haven these past 14 years, as well as the preceding 4 years with Stitch Lounge. Thank you for your support and allowing me to be a part of your creative journey!

Learn stuff. Make stuff. D.I.Y.

We want all of our students to have a SAFE and enjoyable experience in their classes. Due to growing concerns regarding the delta variant surge, all in person students will be required to be vaccinated and masked during their lessons in the studio for the foreseeable future. Those students who have traveled in the two weeks prior to their lesson may be required to show proof of a negative pcr test as well.

We hope that all students understand that these measures are for the safety of all. We still have Zoom lessons available for unvaccinated students or folx in quarantine due to exposure.

As a reminder, Craft Haven offers sewing and pattern-making lessons only. We do not currently offer hard goods, alterations, or production as a service.
If you're looking to have something custom made for you, please check out Kwill Design, offering bespoke apparel to people of all sizes.

I am a true believer that if you can imagine it. you can create it.  I work with clients of every shape and size, designing garments that allow people to feel confident, comfortable, and unique.

Private lessons are $40 per hour.
Students must have their own functional sewing machine at home, basic supplies (thread, fabric, scissors, pins), and the ability to use Zoom conferencing through a laptop or tablet.
