NAK is a new adventure: to create a place that approaches the cottage industry of sewing in a way that connects people in Tucson. My goal is to bring people out of their kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, attics and basements to share some time together creating.

From the Sewing Basics to the more advanced pattern making and design classes, Needles And Knots provides a multidisciplinary approach that “seamlessly” translates ideas into experiences.

Classes, lessons, and workshops will be hosted both in person at our local location as well as online virtual meet ups like Zoom.

The concept behind NAK was developed by Shauna Smith in Austin, Texas at her premier sewing lounge called First Samples where over 2000 students learned about fashion sewing. The studio was honored nationally by Time Magazine, Taunton Press and more.
