Sarah's Sewing Located in historic downtown Goldsboro, NC. Sewing Lessons & Custom Sewing; slipcovers, up-cycling, repairs, mending, unique projects & more. Hi! in Goldsboro.

Don't hesitate to reach out! ✂️ Welcome to Sarah's Sewing, I'm Sarah. I offer group sewing classes and private lessons and also offer custom sewing at my shop on Ash st. I have over 20 years of experience sewing and working in fabric shops and 5 years teaching sewing. My favorite things to sew are clothes for myself and designing useful things to use around the house. I'm a military brat who grew

up playing outside a lot, doing arts and crafts and playing sports. My first job was at The Cloth Barn and they are who inspired me to get into sewing. I loved all the possibilities that their many fabric options offered. (At the time Cloth Barn offered apparel fabric, but no longer does). There, I worked with many seasoned seamstresses who became my sewing mentors. Between them and my mom's instructions I was off to a good start in becoming a proud seamstress or sewist, as I like to call myself. I took a little break from the sewing world In 2012 when I got a wild hair to hike the Appalachian Trail in it's entirety. After spending 6 months in the woods I moved to Kinston where I worked at Mother Earth Brewery and ran an Etsy shop selling my bag designs that I sewed. Then I got another wild hair and moved to Portland Oregon where I got a job at a boutique fabric shop that sold independent sewing patterns and the dreamiest apparel and quilting fabric. I helped run the shop, doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff and taught classes there too. I loved it but missed my family here in Goldsboro and decided to move back in 2019. I opened up Sarah's Sewing in the fall of 2019 with intentions of solely teaching classes but covid totally disrupted all that and that's why I started offering custom sewing. I also, of course, made a ton of face masks. It's been a struggle over the last several years but things are looking up and I'm super excited to be at your service for your custom sewing needs and as a teacher to all you future sewists out there.

I had some denim leftover from a previous project to use. They ended up looking like cuffed jeans which was a nice surprise to me. ✂️

I take a lot of off-the-wall sewing requests here at my shop so if you have something unique in mind, I might be able to help! 😃

These cute little bunnies came to me with a request to add spiderman fabric inside the ears and foot pads.

It all had to be hand sewn and at first my customer tried to do it themselves but gave up and called me for help. 😅

I'm always happy to step in and take the reins! ✂️

Don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything, even if you think it's weird.

Practical Sewing is always such a blast! This time around I had 5 excited students ready to learn about finishing seams, hemming and more. 🧵

They all did a fantastic job completing two projects which 4 of them are modeling/showing off.

The half apron showed them how to finish raw edges by hemming and adding a facing. And the pillowcase showed them how to do a style of seam called a French Seam.

In this class I also teach several ways to cut out square and rectangle shapes using several different measuring tools. 📕 📏

The precursor to this class is Intro to Sewing which is scheduled for September 29, 30, October 1st from 5:30pm-7:30pm. The cost is $85.

One of two isles of fabric at Michaels here in Goldsboro the other day. I think I laughed out loud when I saw the caution signs for two bolts of "spilled" fabric. 😂 ✂️

This darling student of mine wants to start jazzing up basic t-shirts by adding fun sleeves and embellishments with a goal of selling them one day. ✨

How adorable is she in her revamped Panthers shirt that we fashioned together, using a sequin skirt for the sleeves!✂️

I have a particular student in mind who could really use some help affording a two hour lesson which costs $70. They are out of work, currently and so I thought, hmmm, perhaps there is a sewing angel ready to step in with a kind gift. ✂️

This student is such a sweet heart and I know they'd really appreciate the help. 🧵

Even if you donate just a portion to the lesson, it's still a big help. ❤️

This impressive quilt is a finished project made by a recent student of mine, Sam. Most of the balloons are made from onesies that her friends' daughter wore in her first few years. It's a birthday present for her, if I remember correctly.

Before coming to me for help, she had very little experience using a sewing machine but DID have a lot of hand sewing experience. That prior experience is part of what enabled her to accomplish the complex sewing of this quilt because with just a few lessons under her belt, it's true when I tell you, she sewed every bit of this quilt herself! No joke! 🧵 💪

Together we drafted the balloon and cloud shapes and then we played with placement for a pleasing composition.

She purchased some woven fabrics to add brighter colored balloons and hand appliquéd those on along with the baskets which are also woven fabric. The rest of the balloons and clouds are made using knit clothing and were zigzag stitched around the raw edge.

I presented several options for the quilting portion, one of which was to use the method of "echo quilting". As soon as I explained what it was she was decided! I think it was a good choice and adds fun texture and movement.

Not bad, at all, for someone's first quilt, wouldn't ya say!? ✂️ 😃

I have room for 2 more students in this upcoming class. If you have taken Intro to Sewing with me then Practical Sewing is a perfect next class to take. 🧵

And if you haven't then as long as you have some experience operating a sewing machine, winding a bobbin and threading a machine and know how to keep a somewhat even seam allowance 😅 then you may sign up! ✂️
