Let customers speak for us
from 360 reviewsThe needle threader is great. Save loads of time and works almost everytime.
The pattern altering stylus is a game changer for me. I no longer have to look for my steam gauge or get a rule out to mark all of my allowances. It cuts the time in half on marking seam allowances.
Great book. Highly recommended. The pictures and the diagrams are clear. The section that reviews when to use is a nice addition.
The pictures are clear and easy to understand for a beginner. The explanations of how to use the stitches are clear yet not overly stated. Format is enjoyable to view. This would be an ideal gift/tool for a beginning student.
I've been working with double cloth. Basting removal is a breeze now.
After taking the class with Helen back in March, I ordered the kit. I like the concept of using hand stitching on my garments when I am sewing them. The kit contents are very useful and of good quality. I also really like the hand stitching book as it is well photographed and easy to follow. Can't wait to pick stitch a zipper!
Helen's ASG virtual class was wonderful. Received my kit yesterday and used the basting thread and needles immediately on my jacket project. I used the Litte Book of Stitches to review the stitch. Looking forward to using the silk thread and Japanese needles on my next project along with the 100% beeswax. Great kit, money well spent!
I received my order very quickly and all the products are top notch! Wonderful stitch book written by Helen and unique tape measure that is hard to find.
This was exactly what I needed. The organza is beautiful and the size of the pieces are perfect for pressing garments.
Thank you this will help me with my tailoring
This book will be an excellent resource to share with my students!
Thank you! I didn't know I needed these until they arrived.

Meet Helen Haughey
My mother taught me to sew at the age of 10. Her mantra was simple: the inside of your garment should be of a quality to wear it inside out!
When my children began to head for college, I began to teach others to sew and in 2001 I made my eldest daughter’s wedding dress while attending a Couture Sewing School. I fell in love with couture techniques.
I’ve held classes in New Orleans, Orlando and Boston. At the studio in my home of Vero Beach, Florida, I’ve given private lessons and held workshops.
