About Little Stitch Studio
Where fashion meets fun—and learning lasts a lifetime.
Little Stitch Studio is a sewing and fashion design studio for kids and teens in Norfolk, Virginia. Since 2014, we’ve supported hundreds of young designers as they build confidence, learn practical skills, and discover the satisfaction of making something by hand.
Whether your child is just starting out or dreaming of a future in fashion, we offer a welcoming studio environment where creativity is encouraged and skills are taught step by step.
Fashion Education for Kids and Teens
Sewing & Fashion Design Classes
Small-group classes that start with strong foundations and grow with your child—incorporating fashion illustration, patternmaking, textile science, draping, and fashion history.
Programs
Summer Camps & Workshops
Seasonal programs designed for deeper immersion. Students complete wearable fashion projects in a fun, supportive studio environment.
Private Lessons
Customized instruction for students who want a more flexible schedule or a more individualized pace.
Special Events & Birthday Parties
A memorable, hands-on way to celebrate—friends learn together and create something special to take home.
Programs by Age
Classes are held Monday through Friday during the school year. Enrollment is open year-round as space allows. Returning students receive priority registration. If a class is full, families can join the waitlist using the link on each class listing.
Kids Classes (Ages 6–12)
One-hour weekly classes offered in 8-week sessions throughout the school year. Students build foundational skills through sequenced projects that are fun, structured, and build solid technical skills.
Teen Sewing & Design Program (Ages 12–18)
Ninety-minute weekly classes focused on stronger technique, creative expression, and (for interested students) portfolio preparation.
Designed for Growth
Each year, we introduce new projects so students can continue building skills over time. Many students return year after year—developing independence, creative confidence, and strong technical skill through consistent practice and thoughtful instruction.
Some students go on to advanced fashion programs, including:
The Governor’s School for the Arts
Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)
Radford University
Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT)
Pratt Institute
Parsons School of Design
But the most important outcomes? The confidence, creativity, and technical skill that come from hands-on making.
