Excellent opportunity for a child to learn to sew. Friendly happy staff members teach the kids step by step.

What a neat place, I had a sewing lesson at their Brookline location today and had a great time! I was the only person there, and I got a very personalized 1.5 hour lesson on how to make a cute zippered pouch and they covered all the sewing basics. I love that they really tailor it around what you're looking for, I was very satisfied with my experience. The workers there were so sweet and helpful. They also had a nice selection of yarn in their shop, I'll definitely be returning.

Let's go to camp to recharge our energy! As an adult, we spend our lives working, taking care of others and wishing for time on our own. Megan shows you how to revive your love of sewing and embroidery at the level that matches your ability. I brought sheets, shower curtains, and old table cloths and turned them into something I could wear. My stay in the Catskills was fun, invigorating and I met new folks that I've continued to stay in touch with through a monthly embroidery club. Megan has an easy style of teaching and communicating, a great sense of humor and her space is well organized with a vintage vibe. I'm going again this Summer!

We celebrated my 8-year-old's birthday at HipStitch. The staff smoothly handled twenty 7-8 year old girls and everyone had a great time. The team at HipStitch first told the girls about the project and helped them pick out fabric and then did a brief lesson for the girls. Next each child sat at her own sewing machine to work on her project. All of the girls made fabulous pillows, and they were all incredibly proud of their work! We ended with pizza and cake in the back room. We will definitely be back for more camp days, and probably more birthday parties as this one was such a hit!

My daughter celebrated her 9th birthday there and they had a blast! The class is fun and very professional and every child finished with a pillow or bag regardless of skill level. The staff was very friendly and everyone was very happy when they left. We will definitely be back!

My daughter’s 10th birthday party was a success. All her girlfriends greatly enjoyed stitching away to create their personalized keepsake pillows. Hipstitch team was very responsive in addressing all concerns regarding preparations for the bday party. Would definitely recommend

We just held our 5-year-olds birthday party at Hipstitch. Nicola and her team were wonderful -- even developing a new craft (Hippo puppet) based on the birthday boy's favorite animal! All the kids had such a great time, and we were able to bring a cake as well. Thanks so much Hipstitch!

I had a birthday party for my 8 years old girl there. They are very professtional and helpful. Kids really enjoyed the party and sewing. I like kids learn something and bring home something. I'd like to come to their program again. The place is also cozy and cute.

My daughters have gone to Hipstitch on and off over the last 3 years for school vacations. They used to love going there. Maybe the business has gotten too busy but the staff to children ratio has gotten much too low. Last year, my girls went and they said it was so packed that they could physically not move. The owner told me that it was unusually busy that day. I decided to give it another try. I sent my girls again today and my daughter said that she does not want to go back. She said it was so crowded with only 2 staff members that she had to wait a half hour to even have someone cut her some fabric. Then the sewing machines were taken up or were getting stuck and there was a long wait to get them fixed. She used to come back after camp with about 2 things made but after 5 hours today, she didn't even get a chance to complete one project and was really upset that no one took the time to help her. They should know how many children are signup up and should staff appropriately or should limit the number of kids.

Despite no previous sewing experience, my daughter had an amazing time. The teachers were fun and caring and she was very proud of the project that she brought home. We will definitely be coming back soon.

Kids LOVED the party. We had 14 kids for my daughter's 10th birthday party. They made tie dyed soaps and tinted lip balms, ate pizza and cake and had a blast. Hipstich even provided a cute little goody bag for each child. Strongly recommend!!!

My daughters love sewing camp at HipStitch! Always open in a pinch (school vacations, holidays, even some snow days), the HipStitch camps are well run, creative, and fun. My kids have learned to make their own stuffed animals, bags, and clothes. They always have a great time and I'm thrilled they're learning such a useful skill.

Cute little store with lots of helpful helpers/employees. We held our Girl Scout sewing event there and our Daisy troop loved it. The girls had so much fun creating a beautiful doggie blanket. Parking is tricky but not a deal breaker. We recommend this fun place!

We hosted a sip and sew event here for a group of amazing teachers, and everyone absolutely loved it. The staff could not have been more patient, kind, and helpful. We brought in food from nearby restaurants and wine and the teachers had so much fun making tote bags from beautiful fabrics and relaxing in the cozy shop. Even people with no sewing experience were able to do it. Highly recommend it for kids too. On a separate occasion, my 5 year old made an adorable pillow. Love this place!
