My mom and I have talked about it for years that we would love to learn to sew as we have a lot of beautiful material we've gathered over the years. The Make Den was a great opportunity to do so as the instructors are fun and provide detailed instructions in order to get the best results but make the experience enjoyable that you're eager to learn more. They have two sites to which you can take the 4 week beginner class which can occur on various days and times throughout the week as well as variety of advanced courses that an individual can take following the beginner 4 week course to continue to enhance your learning, so I'd highly recommend taking the class if you have that 'Project Runway' thirst to get your inner designer out, lol!

I attended the Fundamentals sewing class at the Dundas Street East location and it was great. Nice space to work in. There were 4 of us in the class and each we were each given our own machine to use. I did not need to purchase fabric at the location as I had some already, but the other students did. I think we were all happy with all that we made in the class. Had a wonderful instructor (Kirk I think), really good instruction, friendly and knows his stuff I really like the Dundas St E location, having since been to the Sterling Road location in the West, Dundas is still more convenient for me and the lighting was much better. Unfortunately the East location is closing end of 2019. In the class we made, a headband, a drawstring bag and a pouch that was lined so it looked very professional. Learned to use an invisible zipper which I really wanted to know. Overall I love that these classes are available and like with the Den is doing.

This was an amazing class for first time sewing students. The class was small and I was able to ask questions and get one-to-one help as needed. I loved the products we made. I will be taking another course here. Thank you!

About The Make Den
Alison Broverman of the National Post reported that "sewing machine phobia melts away" in The Make Den's studio. There, in a space resembling a 1950s kitchen, founder and Ryerson University grad Irene Stickney interweaves sound sewing principles and time-saving tricks into her workshops. Subjects range from an initial, embroidered letter of introduction to sewing techniques and the otherworldly style of Lady Gaga. Several of the Den's instructors can also be seen gliding through the streets of the city in their own outrageous, hand-sewn matching creations as members of the Deadly Nightshades fashion-and-cycling posse.
