About Us
Mikala Cash opened The Creative Sewing Studio in 2007, first as a custom handbag and clothing business that quickly evolved into a thriving sewing, wellness and art studio. Since opening we've had the privilege of teaching over 8,000 wonderful students who have enriched our creative community!
In a typical class you can expect to enjoy soothing world music, friendly chatter, stimulating décor and a relaxing creative ambiance. Located in southern Massachusetts, the studio is easily accessible from anywhere in RI, MA, and southern New England. The Creative Sewing Studio offers dozens of different sewing, wellness and art classes, workshops, events and trips through out the year for ages 18 and over. All offerings are designed to be fun, inspirational and educational.
With a wide variety of sewing classes we cater to the complete beginner right on through to the skilled sewists. With exciting and modern projects, skilled instructors and personal attention, our classes are going to provide the beginner with a solid foundation and enable experienced sewers to advance their current skills. Students will construct projects that are going to challenge and inspire them, they will gain a better understanding of the world of sewing and forge new friendships.
In addition to our sewing courses we bring in visiting artists each month to teach in an array of mediums. These instructors are skilled in their craft and the workshops they instruct are a great introduction into other forms of art like knitting, calligraphy, painting, bead work and yoga to name a few.
It is always encouraged to express and share your creativity, to bounce ideas off one another and ask any questions you have. Have fun, laugh, learn, enjoy the journey!
~ The Modern Sewist ~
Today’s sewists are working with vibrant, exciting, and modern fabrics and patterns, creating beautiful pieces of art through the process of sewing and design. With an endless array of contemporary fabrics, trims, and notions available to us, the possibilities are truly limitless. We take pride in what we create—whether it’s something we make for ourselves or a handmade gift for someone we love.
Hand sewing has been around for more than 20,000 years, while machine sewing emerged during the Industrial Revolution. Through the centuries, the art of sewing has endured. While the fundamentals remain much the same, sewing has evolved alongside society, adapting to the needs, interests, and creativity of each new generation.
We are taking a time-honored skill and giving it a modern twist. We still sew curtains, wedding dresses, dolls, and blankets, just as generations before us did. But today, we also create yoga mat bags, laptop carriers, Kindle covers, iPad covers, and countless other practical and creative projects.
We deconstruct, redesign, embellish, and repurpose clothing to reflect current trends or express our own personal style. Sewing, fashion, and design go hand in hand—and today’s sewists have more freedom than ever to turn their creativity and individuality into something tangible.
