Hand Sewn Labels

You should be proud of the work you create. Proud enough to put your name on it.

In this class, we’ll use fabric from the Approved Textiles scrap bin and twill or bias tape from Home Sew—made right here in Pennsylvania—to create labels that you can stitch into your garments, gifts, and personal projects. It’s a small but mighty way to add that finishing touch to your commitment to anti-fashion: making your own clothes proudly, unapologetically, boldly.

2 vs. 3-Hour Offerings

Some classes are 2 hours long. These are about learning and improving your techniques, not about finishing a final project. Think of these as time to grow, practice, and explore the “how” and “why” behind a craft. 

Other classes are 3 hours long. These focus on making something you can take home. You’ll still learn along the way, but the main goal is to create a finished (or mostly finished) item.

An example: Imagine a “Paint and Sip” class. You leave with a painting—a finished product. But the class doesn’t go deeply into the techniques or skills like how to choose paint types, brushes, or color combinations. The instructor guides you through copying their techniques, but their real skills come from years of study and practice.

We offer both kinds of classes—because both have value.
