Consider learning something new this fall. Our beginning home decor class can refresh your home. Our beginner garment classes will give you the skills to use a sewing machine and construct simple garments. You can learn on school provided machines (or your own, if you have one) and have a new skirt to add to your holiday wardrobe.

 

Our teen class is back.  This is a great after school activity for expressing creative style. Take a look at the class content above and see if it is right for your high school student. Teens are welcome to come over to the school, before classes start, and see if sewing is for them.  Please call for ahead to make sure I am available for tours and information.  Sewing is so much fun!!

 

Looking ahead to Thanksgiving! I have so many things to be thankful for--my beautiful family and, of course, all of my students!

 

Happy Sewing,

Marguerite
