CHOP SHOP: Class List


Here is a list of classes and descriptions. Please email me: chopshopcostumes@gmail.com for dates and times. If there is a project or class that you have in mind, please let me know!

Deus Ex Machina (God of the Machine): 2 hours $30

Learn the basics of the amazing sewing machine! Threading, oiling, changing needles, bobbins, tension, stitches, and more.

We will start with a simple project of a Voodoo doll pin cushion! Supplies provided.

(Bring in your own machine if you have one! It’s always better to learn on your personal machine. It’s like driving a standard car! Each one is different! Be sure to bring bobbins that fit your machine!)

Survival Sewing: 2 hours $30

Need to learn how to fix a hole in a garment? Sew on a button? Stop that underwire from sticking out of your bra? Do it all with a needle and thread!

(Bring a garment that needs fixing, or supplies will be provided.)

Hoodie Ninjas: 4 hours (2 Classes) $60 
(Must be proficient in sewing on the machine, or have taken the Deus Ex Machina class)

Have a hoodie that is a little short in the arms, or the color is not your favorite but it fits well? Learn how to make a new custom one with your own unique adjustments (Cat ears? Bigger hood? Longer arms or torso? Fake Fur lining? Awesome fabric?) 

Bring a hoodie that fits you pretty well (if you have one) and 2 ½ yards of your favorite fabric(s).

The Quicker Zipper Up-er! 2 hours $30 (should have sewing machine knowledge or have taken the Deus Ex Machina class)

Have a broken zipper or just want to learn how to sew one into a garment?

This class will unlock the secrets of this toothy device!
(Bring a garment with a broken zipper and a NEW zipper of the same length or longer. OR bring one 7” regular zipper and one 7” invisible zipper.)

Choose your own Adventure! 2 hours $30 (each additional hour is $10 more)
Bring in a project that you need help with and we will figure it out together!


* More classes will be added and available soon! This is just a basic menu to start with!
