March 2023

March classes start week of March 6th

 

 

 

Consider learning something new. 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 wardrobe.

 

 The school is offering an intermediate class in April and May. This is an 8 week class. In it you will learn all the details of a shirt with a convertible collar, long sleeves, a continuous bound placket, cuffs, buttons and buttonholes.  There are quite a few students that are ready for this class.

 

February has been a very busy month here at the school. Some of our classes are full and a few have waiting lists. It is so much fun teaching so many students who have so much enthusiasm for sewing and for our classes. Come take a class and see what the buzz is all about.

 

Big Hugs,
