Sewing is a tradition that will be passed on for generations. Adding sewing and designing to your creative repertoire is smart and empowering in today's society. Soon you will sew for yourself and/or sew and provide alterations for others. The small class size enables the instructor to provide personal sewing assistance to each student. Students will learn foundations for sewing, as well as tips and training needed to become a quality sewer. Imagine, choosing your own fabric, enhancements and notions, sewing and fitting the garment just right, and then wearing and displaying what is designed...what a sense of pride and accomplishment. Many people find sewing to be relaxing and a wonderful stress reliever. For your convenience, we offer two scheduling options for a total of 5 hours of sewing instruction per month. Anybody can learn to sew! Sewing classes are self-paced; therefore students can sign up any time. Register today and experience the JOY of SEWING!
