Open Sew
About
Reserved time at a sewing station with the studio's machines and tools, for anyone who wants to work on their own projects outside a class. Brooklyn Stitch Studio is at 117 9th St, Studio 102, in Gowanus, near 4 Av-9 St on the F, G and R. Open Sew runs Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 2 PM, at $15 an hour drop-in or $150 a month for 20 hours as a member; book at least 24 hours ahead, and evening or weekend time depends on what the studio has free. It is the only pay-by-the-hour sewing time on our New York calendar, where the other ongoing sewing listings are multi-week courses such as Textile Arts Center's After School Sewing & Fashion, from $625.

New to textiles?
Textile classes range from weaving on a frame or rigid-heddle loom to embroidery, knitting, crochet, natural dyeing, felting and sewing a first garment.
- Check whether the class is for complete beginners or assumes you can already cast on or thread a machine.
- Single sessions usually make something small: a wall hanging, a hoop, a dyed scarf.
- Bring reading glasses if you use them; most fibre work is close-up.
Taking it home: Usually the same day. Larger pieces may be finished at home with the yarn or thread you leave with.
