❊ About Us

Building Creatives.
One Stitch at a Time.

The Alliston Sewing School was founded with one simple belief: when kids create with their hands, they grow in confidence, focus, and self-expression. What began as a lifelong love of sewing and teaching has become a space where children can learn real skills while having real fun.

Nicole brings over 15 years of teaching experience, including instruction at the college level, along with a BA in Fashion Design. She’s been sewing since she was a small child, learning side by side with her mom — and even received her very first sewing machine for Christmas at just five years old.

At Alliston Sewing School, we go beyond just learning how to sew. Each class is designed to build patience, problem-solving, and pride through hands-on projects kids are excited to take home. From a child’s very first stitch to their finished creations, every step is guided with encouragement and care.

Nicole’s mission is to give kids a welcoming, creative environment where they feel capable, inspired, and proud of what they make — one stitch at a time.
