Sippin’ & Stitchin’

has one goal to spread our love for the textile arts in a fun, accessible way

After a few curious friends asked to learn, Lea hosted wine and stitch nights on her living room floor. After realizing how much she enjoyed hosting events, Sippin’ & Stitchin’ was born and we went on to formally host and collaborate with local spots. Since then, we’ve continue to expand to other major cities across the US. We can’t believe that we get to share what we love and call it our job!Whether we’re creating a wall hanging, custom-stitched patches or up-cycling clothing, S&S aims to harness creativity in a fun, laid-back environment where all feel welcome. We offer public and private events as well as beginner-friendly kits and supplies.

Lea Saccomanno is a multidisciplinary textile artist as well as the owner of Sippin’ & Stitchin’. Originally taught by her grandmother, she’s been practicing for over fifteen years. She’s been involved in multiple art shows as well as hosting her own. When she’s not stitching, she’s probably hanging with her dog Luna or making pasta :)

  • “I had so much fun learning how to embroider! Easy to follow instruction and an overall fun experience hanging out with other ladies who have similar interests.”

    - Kirstie A.

  • “I have wanted to try this at for a long time. This was such a great introduction to thread painting! It was so fun, and stress free. The instructor was great and I'm hoping to continue to learn and practice this new art. I would be interested in taking another class sometime.”

    - Michelle T

  • “I had a delightful time at the Sippin & Stichin embroidery journal event! I now know how to do 3 different stitches and have been making the cutest little embroidered icons. I really appreciated the high level of organization, the kits we received has everything we needed. The small group instruction was perfect for the project and I made some new friends!”

    - Ursula M

  • “This was my first class and it was a fun time. The instructor was so patient and personable with the group - answering questions as they came. Would definitely go to another event!”

    - Wendy L

  • “This was a SUPERB event - different than painting, beginning folks AND experienced stitchers all worked like a great team. Met some beautifully diverse people. Everything was there, ready and waiting and not only was in-person instruction thorough, a video was sent as a follow-up. It was a great time and I’ve already passed event words to friends and family. I’m definitely doing more projects with Sippin n Stitchin!”

    - Kelli B

  • “Hang out with a delightful beverage and a dedicated space to craft without having to plan anything! Just show up to all the supplies you need and maybe make some new friends too.”

  • YES! We ready are willing to travel to your location. Depending on the location of the event, we may charge a small travel fee. 

  • One of my favorite quotes is "if it sits still, you can stitch it." Think tote bags, makeup cases, clothing items, merch - the possibilities are endless.

  • pricing will vary based on the size, complexity and materials needed to complete the piece. some processes take much longer/require specific items and the pricing reflects this. we ask for 50% of the cost up-front to cover materials and the other 50% upon completion. we can also safely ship your item wherever you’d like
