FREE Basics in Quilting
Want to start quilting, but don't know where to start? I offer a FREE 2 hour long Basics in Quilting class for those 18 and older. You must be comfortable using a sewing machine. You will learn accurate cutting, seaming and pressing techniques. Quilts don't have to be perfect, but I share tips and tricks that will make matching corners and rotary cutting less stressful. This is not a project oriented class, but feel free to bring a project (started or dreaming about) and I can help you plan for success or help you where you are stuck. Four spots are available at a time. Bring a friend (or three) and start a new hobby together.
4 spots available for Monday, January 5 from 7PM to 9PM
Holiday Gifts Galore Workshop
For my current and former sewing students.
Come to this 2 hour workshop and choose from 4 simple giftable projects (make as many as time permits). All fabrics and supplies are provided for $20 per student. Wrap your gifts before leaving to keep it a secret from your loved ones. Give handmade gifts this year. Teachers, friends and grandparents will love a gift sewn by you.​​
1 spot available on Friday, December 5 from 4PM to 6 PM
Kids, Teen & Adults Can Sew Weekly Classes
In this fun and easy class beginners will learn how to safely operate a sewing machine. They will also learn to seam and finish fabric. We will use the Kids Can Sew program to sew items such bags, pants, stuffed animals, pillows, skirts, and a variety of tops. Students will learn foundational skills and master sewing techniques in a fun and engaging way. My goal for this class is that the students become comfortable using a sewing machine while making items that reflect their personal style.
Classes will be held once a week, in 2 hour sessions; in my basement studio in Highland. Being able to navigate stairs independently is a must.
Class is currently limited to 4 students who are at least 9 years old. Teens and adults are also welcome. Cost is $50 per weekly session, paid monthly before the first lesson of each month. A $60 packet fee will be charged at enrollment to purchase the Kids Can Sew pattern packet. This packet lasts for 9 months to 1 year with occasional supplemental projects of your students choosing. Projects take several lessons to complete, students DO NOT finish a project each week. Packets are available in kids and teen/adult sizes and are available in advancing levels- just like piano books.
Students will use my studio machines and tools during class.
Parents will be responsible for helping their students to buy fabrics and notions (I will send the required list of items in advance). Students need to come each week prepared with the proper supplies for class. I feel VERY strongly about the student choosing the fabrics. LET THEM BE THE DESIGNER and you will have a happier, more fulfilled student. I do my best to keep this portion easy, fun and affordable. ​
