Upcoming Classes & Events |

Working with Dress Forms Learn how padding a dress form can help you put together outfits and understand the fit of your clothing.
Professional measurements will be included. Offered Saturday, June 30 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. Continental Knitting Continental knitting is also known as, German knitting, European knitting, or picking. You'll learn how to hold the yarn differently, eliminating the yarn over/throwing your hand and arm the way you do for English-style knitting. Also, because of this you can reduce the strain on your hands and shoulders, and with a shorter distance between your needles and yarn, you can knit a lot faster! Attend both classes, or come as you are able. $10 per 2-hour class. Offered Monday, July 9, & 16 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Rub-Off a Pattern Do you have a garment that you love to wear? It's the perfect fit, or drape, and you just can't find another quite like it? Don't despair! You don't have to take it apart to duplicate it. Bring it in, and we will help you recreate it without tearing apart your favorite piece of clothing. This class will be taught in two parts in July: Tuesdays, 10 & 17, from 4 to 6 p.m. Sewing Machine Maintenance Learn how to keep your sewing power tool purring along! We'll teach you the best ways to clean out the dust, fluff and bits of thread that clog your machine's action, and the safest ways to lubricate its parts. Offered Saturday, July 14 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. |
