Notions Sewing Studio offers a variety of classes for kids and adults.
Classes
Kids
We offer kids camps during most school holidays. We also work with schools and after-school programs to provide a variety of sewing classes. We work with basic STEAM practices teaching the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math of sewing so it becomes a learning experience while working on fun projects.
Adults
While Notions has a large focus on teaching kids we are here for anyone excited to learn. We offer mostly private lessons for adults but can set up a group setting if you want to bring your friends and learn together. Our focus is mostly on beginner level classes and getting you comfortable on the sewing machine so you can sew confidently without our help.
Learn Quality
Skills
Our classes have a strong focus on skill building. We cover most everything starting with hand stitching, tool safety and care, machine basics, ironing, cutting, designing and drafting our own creations. You or your child are sure to create life-long skills that will come in handy.

Here is a sneak peak at a few of the things our students have created…
After School Programs
MOBILE SEWING STUDIO
My mobile studio goes to a number of schools throughout the county teaching classes about hand sewing, wet and needle felting, sewing machine use, and more. I have worked with a variety of classes and age groups. Here are a few of the projects we’ve created from Blue Lake Elementary, Sunny Brea Middle, Grant Elementary, and Peninsula Elementary.
GARDEN STUDIO, EUREKA
We offer after-school classes at my Eureka garden studio. These are small classes(up to 4 students max.) where the student can choose what type of project(s) they wish to pursue. This class is designed for students who have experience sewing and can work independently. If you are interested please contact us.
How it all started
Notions sewing studio started as just that… a wild notion. Having spent a good portion of her life sewing Rebecca Hubbard opened Notions Sewing Studio in December 2016. Born out of a love for teaching, a passion for fiber arts, and the challenge of being a small business owner Notions has been a dream come true.
From her early childhood Rebecca always saw herself as being an artist. She went to school to study fine art, obtaining her Bachelors of Fine Art from Southern Oregon University. She followed an adventurous life traveling the world creating art, cooking for various crews, living in remote wilderness locations and eventually settling in Eureka, California with her partner. This is where her passion for sewing and teaching met and she began teaching classes in 2012. Through visiting the studio you may notice her passion for art goes beyond the formalities of cloth and paper, ever a gardener and nature-lover, she brings her love for color to the landscape. In her free time she enjoys the company of her husband and their fur and feather family.
