Host an intimate (limited to six children) party at Sew Lab, and everyone gets special attention. Each child receives a sewing machine lesson and creates a fun project to take home. Themes can be tailored to the interest and age of the birthday child. Parties take place on weekends and last for approximately 2.5 hours, including time for the lesson, project, and celebrating.

This studio is well known for its popular classes, but they also offer custom birthday party packages based on individual interests, ages and the size of the group. Kids get their own, hands-on sewing lesson and a special keepsake to take home. The American Girl Doll Sewing Party Theme remains the most popular, and specialty cake/cupcake options are available to add something sweet to this hassle-free party.
