About Social Sewing Studio
Social Sewing Studio is a modern take on the traditional sewing class, aimed at giving people in the community an outlet to explore their creativity. With our society’s growing dependence on technology, generational sewing and home economics has become a lost art. Social Sewing Studio strives to change that by providing after school programs and adult classes to help people escape the hold of their screens and the stresses of the day-to-day by learning a new, exciting hobby, while having fun at the same time.
Our owner, Jackie, grew up in a culture where making and repairing items was seen as the norm. Sewing was often a necessity, and something that was both practical to learn and extremely enjoyable. It’s from this original mending culture way of life that she nurtured her love for sewing and fabric. Jackie is a North Reading local, a stepmom, and a mom to a lively 2-year-old boy named Luke, who is ready to share her love and knowledge of sewing with her community.
