I took 3 hr sewing class last sat.
It was a deal i got it from Groupon, which materials and sewing machine are included.
It was a little difficult to register class, coz I called in several times, and it went to voice msg. But if you email her, she responds fast. Also, the site is not user friendly. The "online registration" tab is not obvious.. However, once u find the right page, she has a video that instructs u how to register online.
Bellow is the page for registration:

The class building is closed all the time, except 15 min prior to the class.
So as safety concern, its pretty good.
For the class, Koffa was patient and nice.
I like the focus of the class.
Its not about sewing the best garment, but the fun and learning experience u hv.
The downfall is that I didn't get to cut the fabric. Also, I wished she demonstrated steps separately. She taught us how to place upper and lower thread all at once. As beginner, its hard to remember all the steps even she had clear instructions. Plus, I wasn't familiar with the parts of the sewing machine, so I had a bit hard time setting up my sewing machine. But once I figured out w her help, its was fun!
TIPS:
As beginner, its frustrating if you want to get it perfect. It takes a lot of practice, so just go there and hv fun!
