About Quilting & Sewing Classes
Why I Teach Quilting & Sewing
I get a kick out of watching folks light up when they make something with their own hands. Whether you're just figuring out how to thread a needle or you want to master patchwork quilt classes, I’m here for it. I love working with all ages and skill levels - if you’ve never used a sewing machine, no stress, we’ll get you sorted.
Who Shows Up
- Total beginners hunting for a new hobby
- Parents looking for kids quilting lessons (we get young creators from age 12)
- Hobbyists curious to try pixelated quilting, memory quilt making, or bag sewing tutorials
- Anyone wanting to turn old t-shirts, sarees, or special fabrics into keepsakes
What You’ll Learn
- How to make your very first quilt (baby quilts, patchwork, specialty styles)
- Basics of piecing, patchwork, and design
- Tools and tips for sewing sturdy quilted bags
- Creating memory quilts from your own fabrics
How Classes Work
I run hands-on sessions in a bright, cozy studio in Langford Town, Bangalore. You can go at your own pace, and I provide the machines and materials. We do group workshops for beginners, skill-specific technique sessions, and creative workshops for kids too.
If you’re looking for a chill space to get creative, Tsala Studio’s got you.

My Story
We’re Tsalaquiltingstudio, and honestly, nothing beats making a quilt that’s packed with memories. Folks come in with their mum’s old sarees or their kid’s tees, and we get to stitch them into reversible saree quilts that tell their story. Watching someone walk out of our beginner quilting workshops, grinning with their first handmade bag or baby quilt – it’s pure joy. It’s not just fabric, it’s heart, it’s warmth, it’s a little bit of magic.
My Work
What We Do - We offer longarm quilting services, custom memory quilts, bag making, and beginner quilting workshops.
Memory Quilts - Bring us your old sarees or t-shirts - we’ll turn them into beautiful, reversible memory quilts.
Quilting Classes & Workshops - Our beginner quilting workshops are hands-on and fun. Learn the interleave quilting technique or make your own cushion cover.
Longarm Quilting Techniques - We use ruler work, stitch in the ditch, stripling, and spiral quilting to make your quilt tops pop.
