Owner, Leslie Bonnell is a former costume designer who decided to start offering sewing classes in her Bouldin Creek home studio in 2001. Sharing years of experience, tips, tricks along with a special brand of patience, style and humor, Leslie built a loyal following in her tiny studio. As word spread like wildfire about her great classes, Leslie decided to hire on additional top notch instructors to help accommodate the demand. In November of 2009, the Stitch Lab found a new home at 1000 S. 1st St. in a charming 1920's bungalow where more classes along with a fantastic selection of beautiful fabrics are offered.

Leslie says, "I take great pleasure in providing a fun, creative and supportive learning environment and sharing what we know and love about sewing. It really makes no difference whether you want to make a swank cocktail dress or simply want to learn how to hem your own pants—the main thing for me is that you leave here with the tools, confidence and inspiration to keep your creativity flowering.”

 

 

Jack of all trades, master of none — Carol Cunningham spends every second of her free time (and some not-so-free) knitting, crocheting, sewing, glueing, binding, printing (and super fake, choreographed dancing).
