I came in with high expectations, but they've been surpassed a thousand times over. Caroline, Mary, and the entire team are not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, and completely dedicated to making sure every need is met. I first reached out to them through Kiln Share, and Caroline personally called me that evening to walk me through the process. They even went out of their way to help me get my pieces fired during the busy holiday season, ensuring I could meet all my deadlines. This team is truly amazing, and the studio itself is a hidden gem. The energy in their classes is so positive, with happy kids and supportive, invested teachers. I feel so fortunate to have found such an amazing group of women and such a cool, creative space right here in Orange County. I'm beyond grateful for them. - A very happy customer and now friend, Kaitlin (:

She made sure everyone could write whatever letter we were on before moving on to the next set of letters. I loved that she went one on one with everyone to make sure we got it down and to answer any questions we had. She showed us how to write the letter if we didn't quite get it and gave us extra paper to practice for after as well. It was great we got to practice writing an envelope address which was fun and to see how much we learned that day. Her home was lovely, and it was so nice she had little snacks and mimosas for us during our halftime break. It was truly a nice experience and I can't wait to learn more on my own. Thanks Karen!

I have been wanting to learn calligraphy for quite some time but was always intimidated by it. All my fears have left and I am ready to just practice practice practice. Karen provides a unique calligraphy pen and a folder of everything you need to practice all your lettering at home after her class. For 3 hours we practice all the different letters in upper, lower case letters and numbers. I love the intimacy of her classes and how she is able to help you with your calligraphy and also gives you tips to improve. At the end of class we practice everything we have learned on an envelope. Thank you Karen for opening your home and providing us food and drinks! Your class was in such a loving environment it was so enjoyable learning.

I have been taking my daughter here for over a year. She has learned so much and completed several…read moreprojects. My younger daughter also stays here during the lessons and just hangs out with the girls. Aside from learning to sew, it's also a great opportunity for them to socialize with other girls and get in some "girl time". Fabric and other supplies are available for purchase separately. I find this to be super convenient rather than having to go somewhere and buy them as I'm a single dad and am totally out of my element in a fabric store. I appreciate everything that Lisa does for my girls. She makes it easy for me as all I need to do is drop my girls off and I know they're in trusted hands for two hours each week. I get text message reminders the day before and if there's a problem, I can take her on a different day. Lisa is always willing to accommodate. I'm totally happy here and more important, my girls are happy and always look forward to going here each week.

My daughter has been going to Angel Threads Sewing School for over 3 years. She loved it so much…read morethat I was inspired to go, too. I've been going for over 2-1/2 years. Lisa encourages everyone to start with a simple project, so my daughter started with pajamas. My first project was a tote bag. These initial projects give the student the chance learn the basics of sewing. After the initial project, Lisa lets the student select whatever project they want, as long as it is within their abilities. If she feels that a student isn't stretching themselves enough, then she will suggest that they try something where they can learn a new skill. I have worked up from that initial project into making complex dresses and jackets (see the pictures I've posted as examples). My daughter and I both have also been successful in using the skills gained from Lisa to start and complete sewing projects at home. She also has helped us adjust the patterns to ensure a better fit. Basically, these are the things that I love about Angel Threads Sewing (besides obviously learning to sew): 1. Flexibility in projects. Some sewing places restrict you to a specific project. I like that we can choose what we want to work on. Lisa somehow makes this work, with everyone working at different stages of different projects at the same time. 2. Flexible scheduling. I like going the same day each week, because it works for my schedule. But, my daughter's schedule is a bit trickier, so I like that I'm able to schedule a different day each week for her, if necessary, or let her skip a week or two. She just picks up where she left off. Sometimes, she goes twice in the same week if she's trying to finish a project. And, sometimes, we go together. 3. We have fun in our lessons. I go to an adult lesson, and it's a relaxed atmosphere where we have conversation while we work. But, I find that Lisa really shines when it comes to working with the kids. She's patient with the kids (some of whom are at a tricky age), and they all love her. My daughter and I look forward to our sewing lessons. If you are looking for an awesome place to learn to sew (or maybe get some help on a tricky project you've started or want to start), then I would recommend this sewing school. In fact, I recommend it to any of my friends who mention that they (or their daughter) want to learn to sew.

She was also told no refund would be offered. This is extremely disappointing as we also had to source childcare for the morning so my wife could attend. Would recommend you find somewhere more professional.
