Welcome to my ongoing sewing class listing! I'm so happy you're here and I can't wait to share the sewing skills I've been gathering for over 30 years. Sewing has brought me so much joy and satisfaction and I know you will love it too. 

Prerequisites for this class:  Students must know the basics of using their sewing machine and how to thread the machine.

In this ongoing class students will be making a large variety of fun, small projects. Some lessons will cover skills such as doing alterations or repairs on clothing.  Each lesson will provide students with new insights, confidence, skills and practice that will give them a lifetime of useful abilities.  This is a fun class and I hope you can join me!

Patterns and instructions will be provided each week and students will be responsible for checking the classroom for messages and files that can be printed and/or downloaded. I will remind students to check for instructions that may include cutting out pattern pieces and fabric before class. Parents will also need to help students to have the needed materials. 

Basic sewing tools are listed in the materials section of this listing but each lesson may have additional materials needed and they will be on the files that I will list on the classroom page. (This is the page where students enter the classroom)

Upcoming projects are as follows:
December 14 -  A quick and easy bookmark
December 21 - A cute pincushion
December 28 - A pretty fabric flower
January 4 - An easy drawstring bag 
January 11- A hair scrunchie
January 18 - Making your own bias tape...what it's for and why to make it yourself
January 25 - This week we'll make a quilt sandwich. Students will learn some very basic quilting skills 
February  1- A simple potholder
February 8 - A heart sachet (a little fabric heart filled with a mixture of fiberfill and lavender flowers or scented oil.)
February 15 - An easy lined zippered bag 
February 22 -  A wristlet key fob with a metal clip...a really useful item and makes a great gift too! 
March 1 - A cute mini fabric basket. This basket is so cute!
March 8 -  This week we'll make some bowl/jar covers. Students will learn to easily adjust the size.

I'm looking forward to meeting you in my class! :)

>>>If you don't see a time that works for you, please let me know. I would be happy to open a more suitable time for you if possible.

My teaching style is patient, relaxed and encouraging. I want every student to feel welcome and wanted in my class! 

*If a student is late I will stay at least 15 minutes, send a message as a reminder and check my messages. If students don't arrive after 15 minutes I will leave the class.
* If a student has a lot of background noise I will mute them. If a student has animals interfering with their concentration, is playing with things not class related, or fails to bring the materials needed I am not responsible if they cannot finish the projects. I love all my students and really want them to feel the accomplishment that comes with making something nice. So I will do my best to help them along and remove any distractions.
