It all started when…
Chicana fashion designer, Claudia Rodríguez-Biezunski, was introduced to sewing at a very young age by her immigrant parents. Claudia’s father owned a denim factory in San Fernando, CA, and her stay-at-home mother sewed all the clothing for Claudia and her two brothers and three sisters.
Once she started sewing, she couldn’t stop. She created one-of-a-kind handbags and other accessories for her friends and family. Some kids would tease and call her “abuelita” (or grandma) – but the name-calling only motivated her to work harder and improve her skills.
Claudia’s journey to making her own clothes unfurled by finding cheap (sometimes zero cost) ways to be completely unique.
At 25, Claudia decided to leave her job as a receptionist and move to San Diego in order to pursue her dream of operating a sewing studio.
Despite being discouraged from pursuing a creative career by her family, Claudia made the best decision of her life.
In 2013, she opened a sewing studio named Sew Loka. As a Mexican-American female business owner, Claudia is breaking down barriers, blurring societal norms and proudly welcoming BIPOC and underserved communities through affordable, edgy, and upcycled handmade goods.
Her goal is to be 100% sustainable by July 2024.
Today, you will find Claudia sewing one-of-a-kind clothing & accessories using reclaimed fabrics for women and men in the vibrant neighborhood of Barrio Logan in San Diego, CA.

All ages will learn about sewing while making special projects. Each child will work on a sewing project for their skill level. Sewers will learn machine threading and maintenance, pattern making and creative problem solving. Some projects include hand embroidery and other needlework.
This class helps you become comfortable doing basic alterations on your own. The topics include taking seams apart and adjusting seams on shirts, jackets, dresses, pants, skirts, and other garments.
Are you needing time or guidance to finish a project? We are here to help bring in your project and join us for hours of uninterrupted sewing. Michelle will be on hand to help with questions if needed.
