Butcher’s Sew Shop opened in 2014 with the vision of creating a space where people of all ages and backgrounds could learn how to sew professional-looking pieces at home and begin (or continue) their journey to a handmade lifestyle. In the heart of Bella Vista (in a former butcher shop), Butcher’s holds classes with an established community of artist instructors who share their talent generously and who never stop following their curiosity to push the knowledge of their crafts further. When class isn’t in session, it’s not uncommon to find a Butcher’s teacher experimenting with a new technique or learning from another instructor with a different area of expertise. Butcher’s garment-making teachers make their own clothing; quilting teachers piece up seemingly fabric-defying designs in their spare time; and needlecraft teachers have Instagram feeds full of their latest embroidery, sashiko or bead work. The heart of the community is the thousands of people who have made the leap from thinking about learning something new to doing something new.
