Leigh from Topstitch made teaching remote sandalmaking classes run very smoothly. She provided me with everything needed to pull off a successful workshop: tips, guidance, lighting device, timely links, etc. I was so thankful because I'm not very tech savvy. All the gals I met in our virtual classes were darling people- such a treat to connect with this group of makers and get them curious about shoemaking!

What Our Members Say
"I have found my tribe! Topstitch Makers has been and continues to be a wonderful world for sewers and creative minds. I enjoy the welcoming, nonjudgmental community that has been built. It welcomes everyone, on all levels. I especially enjoy the sew-a-longs that are curated for us and openness of sharing ideas. There is no other creative space l'd rather be!"
- SOHINI W.
"It's time to make YOUR OWN clothes. If you think you can't learn how to sew clothes online. I am here to tell you YES YOU CAN! I often take classes online and the videos from Topstitch are great with
cameras from different angles and great explanations during sessions. Just in the last few weeks I've made a True Bias Marlo sweater, Fiber Mood Mable top and Pattern Scout Cozi jacket with Topstitch Makers online."

"I have so enjoyed being a part of Topstitch Makers! The access to monthly sew-along classes is what pulled me it but live stayed for the community and the premium classes. Over the nearly two years of being a Topstitch Maker member, I learned how to make my own jeans AND a waterproof rain jacket! Both of which I definitely wouldn't have been able to figure out on my own. In addition to those projects, I've also made a quilted coat, shorts, a bralette, and more in other live sew-alongs. Plus it's been so enjoyable getting to make new friends who enjoy sewing as much as I do!"

What Our Members Say
"I have enjoyed Topstitch in so many ways! First, as a
person interested in sewing growing up with very few resources available for learning, in this community I have felt like a kid in a candy shop. So much information is available and so many people are there ready to help with questions. The sewalongs give info and support with projects and the companionship of sewing with others. I even found a local sewing buddy through Topstitch. We get together regularly for sewing (usually my questions!) and friendship. I could go on and on. The bottom line is that this group is a gold mine for sewists."
