Sew Loka

"Loved it!! My cousin and I were welcomed into the shop. I asked her questions about a sewing project I wanted to do. She was very positive and said, "Come back!" Below are a couple of shirts I'd live to have my grandmother's doilies to."

"Best lesson for any aspiring sewist! I’m getting back into sewing after over decade hiatus. YouTube can only help so much, I wanted a class, and signed up for a 1:1 lesson to make lounge pants. Claudia is amazing! Her instructions are clear and easy to follow. She is so kind and open. I definitely recommend for any aspiring sewist! Since our lesson, I’ve made 3 more pairs of pants, and am so happy I took a lesson before blindly following a pattern. Claudia’s approach is so much more accessible and easy to follow. Without her tips, I surely would’ve given up!"

"Favorite shop! Not to mention San Diego’s best for 2023. She can customize any item there with patches phrases or colors. All her clothing is recycled, reworked and 100% eco friendly! Also extremely comfortable."

"My Spanish teacher recommended I come here and I couldn’t have been happier! I attended the Friday embroidery workshop and immediately felt comfortable and like part of the team/family. Claudia, the owner, is helpful, personable, hard working and a genuine and kind soul. She helped me and my friend since it was our first time doing embroidery and answered all of my (many) questions with ease. This is a spot not only to come and learn a new skill and keep your mind sharp but also to talk, hang out and make new friends. Please try it out!"
