The New York Sewing Center, in Midtown West, Manhattan, offers sewing, design, and private classes to adults and kids ages 7 and up. The New York Sewing Center was founded by Kristine Frailing, a fashion designer and sewing instructor with an education in fashion design and merchandising from Missouri State University and believes her clothing and sewing lessons empower children and adults and build confidence. In addition to her specialized education, she has years of experience in the fashion industry including positions at J.Mendel, Gurhan, David Yurman and her own clothing company K.BANASIK that has sold in over 25 stores internationally. The New York Sewing Center offers spring break camps, summer break camps, an after-school program, kids' birthday parties and fun workshops (like an American Girl fashion one!).
