The Woven Wolf is an online community of curious makers who love and appreciate tradition, craftsmanship and attention to detail. We create high quality sewing tutorials, patterns, and kits. Our goal is to bring our awesome “in-person” tailoring classes to your home, wherever you might be. Maybe you’re too busy to sign up for a weekly class, or maybe you live somewhere where you don’t have access to a sewing studio? No worries. With The Woven Wolf, you can learn to sew from anywhere.

We do most of our sewing on the Janome 625E Sewist. It’s a sturdy, reliable machine and we highly recommend it. We’ve used it to sew everything from beginner pillowcases to silk chiffon wedding dresses – it’s always easy to use and our students love them! We use the Janome XG43D for all of our serging. We teach exclusively on Janome machines because we find them to be reliable and we highly recommend them to students.

We also use and recommend Titech scissors, Schmetz needles, Unique hand sewing needles, Clover silk pins for sewing delicate fabrics and Klasse pins for everything else. These are just some of the brands and equipment we recommend to our students. If you’re looking to invest in a pair of high-end scissors, we also recommend Gingher.

For fabrics, we use high-quality quilting cottons from brands such as Cotton & Steel, Ruby Star Society, Tula Pink, Art Gallery, Alexander Henry, Kona Bay, Free Spirit and many others.

Yes, please! We are located here.

If you want to swing by and purchase fabric, or rent a machine, our drop-in shop hours are Friday 12pm- 8pm. We open 30 minutes before class time for fabric and materials shopping as well. Please check our calendar for specific dates. We do close for holiday weekends and Christmas.

Our full roster of in-person classes can be found here.

If you need to book a place to stay in Collingwood or The Blue Mountains, we love The Somewhere Inn, The Dorchester and The Mariner Motor Hotel which are all located in downtown Collingwood. Waterfront camping is located 10 minutes from Collingwood at Craigleith Provincial Park, and The June Hotel and Penny’s are 30 minutes away in Kimberly and Thornbury.

Absolutely! Feel free to use any of The Woven Wolf patterns to create your own sellable items, and contact us if you would like to use our teaching materials for your own class. And please tag us on Instagram! (#thewovenwolf and @wovenwolf) We love seeing all of the wonderful businesses that our classes and our website have helped to start! If you are using a sewing pattern you have purchased from us that was created by another brand, please check their website to confirm their policy.

We also love to feature student work in our monthly newsletter and on our blog – it’s super inspiring for us, and for other students to read your success stories! Please send us a link to your Etsy shop or your website if you’d like your story shared with others!
