Do you have a little sewing experience but can't commit to a 4 week class? How about a one nighter?

A Little Girl Spring Skirt! Now's a great time to get ready for spring with an easy elastic waist skirt with lots of gathers. Little ones will love to twirl in these! Wednesday, February 29th @ 6:30, the fee is $10, you buy your own supplies and bring your own sewing machine.


* If week nights are difficult, let me know because I am willing to do classes on Saturdays also. I could do a marathon class if you want to cover several projects in one day, just let me know what your needs are.

To register for any of these classes just send me an email to reserve your spot and I will send you a supply list and other details for the class you’ve selected.
I welcome all questions and comments, just email me and I’ll get right back to you!
Let’s get sewing!!!
