This apron was a gift for my woodworking son. He was completely thrilled with it. Becky worked with me to get it to him on a short deadline. Shift + Wheeler is just the best!

High quality, durable material, excellent hardware (zipper, strap clips) very sturdy. Lots of compliments already. Love the high quality work these folks do!

From basically zero sewing skills to a completed hero wardrobe piece in just four hours?!? While having the BEST TIME??
Highly recommend this awesome class! Becky makes the process so approachable, chill and fun regardless of skill level and I left class feeling like I could actually tackle my own sewing projects at home, despite my previous unfamiliarity with a sewing machine.
And I finished my own suspender dress that I can wear around with extra pride!
All of the stars and glowing recommendations.

Big fan of every Shift+Wheeler creation and getting the opportunity to create my own custom suspender dress was beyond words! What a generous offering to bring folks into the creative workplace and behind the scenes and to walk away with a finished work-of-art garment! Fantastic! Highly recommend for any/all sewing levels!

I thoroughly enjoyed making my classy tote. Nick is a great teacher and made the whole process very easy for a low skilled sewing machine user.

This is the cutest little suspie dress ever. I ordered mine online, so I relied on the size chart and the fit was perfect. I can’t wait to style my suspie when the weather cools this fall.

This is a very cool stand out piece to add to your wardrobe! I didn’t need another bag but had to buy the orange one when I saw it in person on my last trip to Astoria.

I needed something lightweight to go over and under some sleeveless outfits and this is perfect. I've been buying tops and dresses from Becky for years because she has the perfect proportion for me. So grateful to have Shift + Wheeler! 🌺

I had a great time in this class. Everything was provided to make the belt, the space was comfortable and tidy. Nick was an excellent instructor!

We ( a group of 4 people) took the class for one of our birthdays. All of us, with varying degrees of leather work abilities, had a great time under Nick’s guidance and each of us walked out of class with our own belt, made by our own hands! Highly recommend.

These are delightful. Somehow, I’m failing to come up with something clever to say about them, but I like them very much. I think everyone should have them, on every article of clothing, lol. There. I have spoken. 😅🙏🏻🌟

this bag comes in the best colors, and is exactly the right size for an every day bag. big enough for a phone, wallet, hanky, keys, and you can slip your n95 in the front pocket where it won't get crushed. they made me a custom length strap too! love it.

This dress is such a good color and silhouette. I love to wear it when I’m traveling. Super comfy and plenty of pocket space for all the things.

Very fun and relaxed atmosphere! I didn't know anyone in the class, but it quickly felt like a craft day with friends. I took a day trip to Astoria to take this class and drove home feeling like I had been on vacation.

I've been eyeballing the suspender dress for a while and finally purchased my first one earlier this month. Then I fell under its spell and found myself pre-ordering another AND signing up for this class.I love the versatility of this dress and how it can be worn through all seasons. It's a garment that I'll more than get my money's worth out of.

This comes at a time where I'm finding myself in the process of rebuilding my wardrobe to fit a different life and body shape. I also wanted high-quality pieces that will last for years. Making my own dress as part of this adventure has been both empowering and inspiring. THANK YOU, Becky!

If you're unsure because you don't have any sewing experience, I highly recommend this class. Becky is a patient and relaxed teacher and you will go home with your first completed garment. I wish this had been my introduction to garment sewing years ago. I could have avoided a lot of crying and swearing.

This is my favorite bag! It holds way more than it looks like it would. It’s beautifully made. The leather strap and metal hardware give it a little punk edge, while still being super wearable with nearly any outfit. And the waxed canvas is just going to get better looking as it ages.
