My daughter started taking lessons at All Sewn Up during a summer camp when she was 8. She developed an immediate passion and has kept going ever since. That first summer, she made a bag, a scrunchie, a pair of shorts, and then an entire pleated dress with a back cut-out! Recently, my other daughter started taking lessons, too. It's very comfortable, with a dedicated studio space attached to the back of the house in a quiet neighborhood. As a parent, I have no concerns dropping my kids there for lessons and Anne has always been easy to reach and work with. -Emily Q (sewing class & camp parent)

I've been sewing with Anne at All Sewn Up for a couple of years now and I cannot recommend her classes enough! She's so kind, encouraging, and thoughtful. I've learned so much and gained so much confidence while sewing!  Anne's an excellent teacher and an amazing friend, too!  😘Lynn Chalati (adult Student)

After taking a class with Anne my daughter Sadie said..."I thought it was a really good class. Anne worked well with all the kids. She is nice, encouraging and happy. I had a lot of fun!” Thank you! -Marie (sewing class parent)

"Anne, I just had to write and tell you about our very successful sewing weekend. A week or so ago I sent you a note regarding measurements for some pillows Hannah and I were making for her classroom. You gave us some good advice and we were off to JoAnn Fabrics for our supplies. So on Saturday, we sat down and began the project. Hannah was a model of self-confidence as she set up the sewing machine, ran a bobbin and then very quickly ran the seams for the four pillows. She encountered a few bumps along the way, but she was confident she could solve the problems and told me about Miss Anne's optimistic approach to sewing - several times. We completed the pillows yesterday and she brought them in to her teacher this morning. Mrs."P" was overwhelmed by the gesture and Hannah was delighted and so very proud she was able to contribute to her classroom. It was remarkable - THANK YOU for inspiring Hannah to be such a self-confident seamstress. You can be sure she will be signing up for more lessons next year...again, thanks so much Anne!

Hi Anne, Just wanted to let you know how much Eva is enjoying sewing camp. She went to bed tonight with the drawstring bag in her arms. She's already saying how sad she will be on Friday. She can't wait till tomorrow! Thanks so much! Ruth (sewing camp parent)

Anne is a wonderful teacher, she helps you to have a good craft at the end of your project with her amazing creativity. Anne helps you through your struggles and is a very capable teacher. Furthermore, she possesses the uncommon trait of ingenuity. --Rachel Isaac (adult student)

This is my daughter’s third year taking classes with Anne and we have no intention of stopping any time soon!  Anne is not only incredibly talented at what she does and the way she teaches, but is so incredibly and genuinely kind that I would sign my daughter up just to have quality time with her!  Every term, I am impressed with the progression in sewing skills and the wonderful, student chosen creations that are made!!  We feel so lucky and thankful to have Anne as a teacher!!! -Caroline T (sewing class parent)

All Sewn Up is truly one of the nicest things we have in Ann Arbor. I learned that it's nice to sew in pairs, so that you can tailor each other's garments.  Anne is a skilled Italian tailor who worked in Italy's garment industry. Anne is a perfectionist.  Her teaching has added a polished finish, to all that I have made there.  Afua Serwah Osei-Bonsu (adult student)

Our daughter has been taking sewing classes from Ms. Anne for several years now. She calls it her "happy place"! Ms. Anne has been a wonderful teacher. She creates a fun and educational environment for the students. We highly recommend her little school to anyone interested in sewing!!! MR (sewing class & camp parent)

“If you (or your child) want to learn to sew, look no further- All Sewn Up by Anne is where you should be! As an adult beginner, I took adult classes with Anne through Rec and Ed, and mixed age classes in her studio. Anne has an amazing ability to work with a group of people of all ages and all abilities. Although she has a curriculum for kids and adults, I wanted to choose my own projects, and she was very supportive. My projects were sometimes far beyond my abilities, but she was able to work with me to develop the skills I needed. Within the first 10 months, I had made some cloth shopping bags, a knit t-shirt, a short-sleeve button-up "camp" shirt, and a fleece jacket. But the best part of Anne's classes is Anne herself. She is such a warm, friendly, encouraging person, and she truly loves teaching people to sew.” - Lisa (adult student)
