Hip Stitch Academy

Hi, I’m Megan Avery, the Hipstitch Academy founder. I’ve been successfully teaching sewing to adults and kids in my sewing studio M Avery Designs for over 12 years. I opened my sewing studio in Hoboken, NJ in 2004 when I saw my community asking for classes & workshops on how to sew & be creative. I love sewing, creativity & making things with my hands. More importantly, I love teaching others how to do all of these things. Here is why I created Hipstitch Academy: To form a community of like minded sewing teachers and business owners. To empower others to teach people how to sew, anywhere in the world. To let people, existing businesses & aspiring sewing business owners know it IS possible to make a living doing what you love – teaching others how to sew.
