Needle, Ink and Thread is a great place to take sewing and needlework classes. Jesse is well prepared with materials and skills. She is an excellent seamstress. She is great with kids projects/parties and adult classes. Wonderful place to just spend time! This small business is a real treasure.

Jesy is extremely knowledgeable and so encouraging - I had yet to make a successful outfit until taking a private lesson and getting the fit just right. Highly recommended!

Jesy is an amazing soul! Ive never sewn anything in my life and she helped me become comfortable and confident on my Aunts sewing machine. During our one on one session, she was patient, kind, and caring. I learned all the basics of a sewing machine and practiced sewing some lines. She is an expert in her field and I plan on taking another class with her! Thank you Jesy, you are truly gifted in the art of sewing!

Although I have not gotten any work done by Jesy- I had to leave a review! I called looking for emergency alterations, but she had zero availability. She was so sweet and professional. She provided me with referrals for other places of business; and even went so far as to tell me to give her a call back if I can't find anyone- as she would do some research of her own. I feel as if a person's character is just as important and the work they perform.
