WELCOME TO SEWING ORLANDO
Where Creativity Meets Confidence—One Stitch at a Time
Hello, I'm Rachel, a certified sewing teacher in Florida, USA, offering fun and educational curriculum designed to help build a strong foundation in sewing. For over 60 years, I’ve been sewing and for more than 25 years I’ve been teaching students of all ages how to sew—not just to follow patterns, but how to understand, design, and create clothing and accessories they can truly be proud of. That feeling of “I made this!” is powerful.

Where beginners learn to Sew with Confidence! |
No big, crowded classrooms. No “sink or swim” hope you learn approach. Instead, I work with students one-on-one or in small pairs, allowing me to adapt to their pace, their skill level, and their learning style. Whether a tote bag takes 3 hours or 5, I follow the student's pace and celebrate progress at every step.
Skill Tracks That Grow With each Student Designer
I’ve created a 7-level beginner system designed to take students from the very basics to advanced beginner. These are not “cookie-cutter” lessons. Each student moves forward only when they’re ready, so no one is rushed, and no one is held back. Each level is a 4-week course (with 1, 1.5 2, or 3 hour class per session). Each level will take an average of 2-2.5 hours to complete. Students move at their own pave but each items we sew is geared towards mastery—step by step, project by project, so no one is rushed, and no one is held back.
A Confidence-First Philosophy
I am not just teaching sewing, I am building confidence. Every lesson is built to help students feel proud of their work, inspired by their progress, and excited to keep going. In a world full of comparison and pressure, learning to make something with your “own hands” can be incredibly healing and empowering and I might have learning to make something a robot of the future can not come up with is also an added bonus!
Market Comparison (Orlando Area)
Lesson Type
Typical Price (Per Hour)
Sewing falls comfortably in this bracket as a creative skill-based lesson with long-term value (fine motor skills, patience, design thinking, and even entrepreneurship). Sewing has the added advantage of physical take-home results (a finished project), which I love for students as “bragging rights” begin with the first completed project! In Orlando, you may find someone offering a cheaper rate or might want to wait for grandma to come over and teach, but chances are these others have not put in the time and energy to pay for all the business licenses and fees and insurance for a business nor are considered a highly trained seamstress with over 25 years under their belt teaching adults and students how to sew. I can guarantee results as Ive never not been able to teach a student how to sew and be proud of their new skill.
