Sewing Classes through the holidays! November classes: Weeks of: October 30th November 6th November 13th CLOSED THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 20TH! Happy Thanksgiving! November 27th December classes: Tuition will be $110 for the two week classes. Weeks of: December 4th December 11th Closed December 14th through January 5th January 2024! Happy New Year! Classes begin the week of January 8th Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes! You get the point. It is time to take stock of the pantry and count our blessings. As we set our Thanksgiving tables for a feast, my blessings are for all of my enormous family and the many students and friends that I enjoy and couldn't do without. My wish for everyone is good health--and maybe a covid free winter with lots of sewing! It is not too late to start sewing projects for the holidays. Matching pj pants are a very popular way to dress for Christmas day. Time to get started. This year we have been blessed with dozens of new students, both adults, young adults and teens, who need something that is fun (and practical) to learn. Just realizing that your new skills can create something new, but you can also repair clothing and do simple alterations, gives those of us who sew much satisfaction. Some students not only learn a new skill but make lifelong friends in class. Happy Thanksgiving, Marguerite |
