A Studio for Every Sewing Enthusiast
Located in Toronto’s vibrant west end, our studio offers a range of classes that suit all skill levels, from the basics of using a sewing machine to intricate techniques for fine fashion finishing. We understand that everyone has their unique starting point and sewing goals, and our classes are designed to meet you where you are. The Toronto Sewing School is dedicated to fostering a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves and creating at their own pace.
Whether you’re dreaming of creating your own wardrobe, upcycling vintage pieces, or starting a business selling handmade items, our team of seasoned seamstresses, fashion designers, and life-long sewing experts will guide you on your creative path. With their industry knowledge and passion for teaching, our instructors provide expert guidance, personalized feedback, and a ton of inspiration.
Learn the Fundamentals or Master Advanced Techniques
At the Toronto Sewing School, we believe that a strong foundation is essential to building confidence and skill in sewing. Beginners can start with courses focused on Sewing Machine Basics, where they’ll learn how to thread a machine, adjust settings, and perform simple stitches. From there, they can advance to projects like tote bags, cushion covers, and basic garments. As students gain confidence, they’ll have the opportunity to explore more complex techniques and projects that go beyond the basics.
For intermediate and advanced students, we offer classes that dive into specialized topics, including Garment Construction, Pattern Drafting, and Fine Finishing Techniques to create beautiful, professional-quality pieces. If you’ve been wanting to learn advanced details, like inserting zippers, creating buttonholes, or adding couture-level finishes, our classes provide expert tips and insider secrets. Our goal is to equip you with the skills and techniques to bring your creative vision to life, whatever it may be.
Weekend Workshops for Focused Learning
In addition to our multi-week classes, we offer weekend workshops designed to provide focused learning experiences in a condensed time frame. These workshops are perfect for those looking to improve a specific skill or work on a unique project. From making a custom denim jacket to creating upcycled pieces, our weekend workshops are all about fun, creativity, and hands-on learning.
These immersive workshops bring together like-minded creators in a casual and supportive atmosphere, giving you the chance to connect with others who share your passion for sewing. We believe that learning in a group setting not only builds skills faster but also creates lasting friendships and shared experiences that enhance the joy of creating.
Come as You Are – Use Your Own Machine or Ours
One of the unique benefits of the Toronto Sewing School is the flexibility to bring your own sewing machine or use one of ours. We understand that using your own machine can help you become more comfortable and familiar with it. If you don’t have a machine, don’t worry! Our school provides well-maintained sewing machines ready for student use.
Our teachers are also experts at working with a wide variety of machines, so they’ll help you understand how to make the most of your own equipment or guide you in using a school machine. The goal is to make your learning experience seamless and enjoyable, so you feel empowered and ready to take on new projects, whether at home or in the studio.

I started taking sewing classes with this school and teacher Olena a few years ago when they had a store at Cloverdale Mall. It has been the most enjoyable experience. Olena is a very knowledgeable teacher and creates a light warm and friendly atmosphere.
They recently moved to this location and now have a new nice studio for teaching.
