Sew Houston brings modern sewing school to Cy-Fair Combining her favorite pastime and master’s degree in gifted and talented education, former public school teacher Yolanda Stiger opened Sew Houston in Cy-Fair in July 2013. Long story short Customers can bring their own sewing machines and supplies, but Stiger also sells all the needed materials and has free sewing machines available for anyone who doesn’t have their own.
Sew Houston owner and teacher Yolanda Stiger said students enjoy creating outts, such as pajama sets.
In Sew Houston’s intro to sewing crash course, students learn to pin and cut their own fabric. Students also learn the terminology of sewing and how to safely use a sewing machine. Simple projects created at Sew Houston include pillows, T-shirts and pajama pants. “If you’re thinking about sewing, you should denitely come by Sew Houston. You’ll be surprised with how easy and fun it is. Even if you may have had a bad experience before, you’ll have a great experience here,” Stiger said.
Stiger began sewing at the age of 6 using her grandmother’s sewing machine. She went on to become an English teacher in Spring Branch ISD for 10 years and spent her last semester giving students sewing classes after school. That’s when she decided to open her own sewing business. The details Sew Houston caters to all skill levels and hosts classes, private lessons, camps and parties.
