Classroom machines used--no need to bring your machine.

person who wants to get back into sewing and start from the

pattern to size as well as the basics of using a sewing machine. You
will be sewing a pull-over top and a skirt in just 4 lessons. Most
sewing will be done in class but it is necessary to have a machine
at home to complete homework. If you do not have a machine, we have
rentals available or you may choose to purchase a reasonably priced
entry level machine. Fabrics and supplies will be purchased DURING
the first lesson. If you would like an estimate of what you might
spend, please ask. The book we use during class will be available
upon arrival at your first class.
- This series is very exciting and is suitable even for
interested teens but we must insist that Mom attend the class
with the teen (13 and 14). It is very much to your advantage because
it is a great bonding time that will be shared for the rest of your
lives. (Two registrations). Please see Teens section of schedule
for more information.
- It is very important not to miss the first lesson because
all of the basics of measuring and cutting arte taught. Lesson two
covers the basics of using your sewing machine for seams as you be
sewing your neckline and shoulder seams. Some classes may be made up
whenever there is another class in the same week.
