If you dont know your knit from your purl or your dart from your pin
tuck, Stash Needle
Art Lounge can sort your crafting skills out.
The sewing and knitting space offers classes for beginner and
intermediate stitchers. Or, if your skills just need a little practice
amongst friends, the lounge lets you hang out in their 100-year-old
warehouse space, use their equipment, and benefit from their encouraging
company (starting at $6 an hour). Settle into a plush chair by the
fireplace to get started on a sweater or stake out a sewing table by the
window and craft your own couture. Jaelyn Molyneux
