Our mission is to help you get better at sewing and support your journey along the way! At Topstitch Makers you are not alone as you learn and grow your sewing practice. Here you will connect with fellow sewists, improve your sewing skills through sewalongs, live talks, sewcial sesssions, courses and you'll become part of a thriving online indie garment sewing community through this dynamic collaborative engagement.
When you join our paid sewalong membership, you have access to our main community and our "sewalong room" which is where we have live instructor guided sewalongs each month. All of our sewalongs are included with your membership and we also have additional paid courses. Our live sewing sessions take place in US Eastern Time zone. We recently also started offering the recordings of our sewalong sessions, so if you can't make it to one, they will be recorded for you.
