Welcome.... The Needle Arts Institute has been a life long dream of two veteran sewing instructors, Lisa Taranto and Colleen Jones.

Since our opening in September 2002, we have had wonderful attendance by beginning students and professional seamstresses. The greatest compliment from our students has been the referral of their friends for more classes. To this we say THANK YOU ! More

Come with your friends or make new friends in class. We will help you explore all aspects of the Needle Trades.
  • hands-on workshops
  • individualized learning plans
  • large sewing events
  • children's vacation/after-school sewing camps 
  • fitting
  • pattern making
Get the most out of your sewing machine in one of our hands-on machine classes and brush up on basic skills in one of our skill builders classes.
