Harriet's Alter Ego Boutique
Everyone has fantasized about making their own clothes, and with Harriet's sewing classes, you'll be well on your way. With their five-week program ($125, excluding machine and suppies), you'll learn enough make a tote bag and a pillow case. It seems basic, but it's enough to get you making couture gowns in no time.
3rd Ward
Although technically not a boutique, 3rd Ward's knitting class deserves mention since it is not only free, but comes with complimentary hot toddys. Yes, we know needles and booze aren't a likely pair, but their interaction might just unleash your inner crafty child.
