100 Beginner Sewing 4 Lessons $59 I

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.
