Come join Mary as she leads you in this fast
paced class that will introduce you to sewing.
You will learn all about the latest things that
are available in the sewing world and the
things you can do. You will make a simple
pillow project. This is a great class for the
beginner as well as that person who has been
out of the sewing world for some time and
wants to become reacquainted with sewing.
This class is a prerequisite to all other sewing
classes. If you do not have a machine we will
provide one for you to use in class.
Lynn has come up with a great project that
will focus on quilting your fabric, creating
matching piping, zipper insertion techniques and lots of closures. You will make
a darling tote bag that is big enough to
carry a small sewing machine and will
comply with airline carryon baggage limits.
Be sure to check out the photo of this great
project.
