Be Inspired -- And see what you can Sew!

Below is our current listing of classes and workshops for our younger sewists. Our classes and workshops are designed to be fun, engaging, and many can be done as a joint project with both a parent and child/youth and either in-person or virtual. If the project is done online as a virtual session, we will prepare a kit for each person who is signed up. All zoom workshops must be purchased a minimum of one (1) week prior to the class, so we have time to get measurements, fabric choices and prepare the kit for pickup or mail delivery. See below for the details with more to come for her -- and you!

Need a little me time after a houseful of family and guests? Need something for your sewist to do while you shop? Or, maybe you'd just like to find a fun activity for your sewist to do during the Thanksgiving break. Look no further!

We are again hosting a "Mom's -- or Dad's -- morning out" where your sewist will join us for a few hours while you have some quiet shopping time -- or maybe just some quiet time! This is an open sewing time with some suggestions of items they could make in the time allotted. With our guidance, your sewist will make her/his choice of cute and adorable Nutcracker stuffie, gnome pillow, or winter accessory(ies) as time allows. Accessory choices include a Beanie, Infinity Scarf and/or fingerless gloves or mittens. These can be made as gift for a family member, friend or younger sibling or simply added to their group of favorite friends. To sign up for this class add this to the shopping cart and pay for the class online.

The details... Workshop will run from 9:30 a.m. to up to approx. 12:30 on Friday, November 29th, 2024. Suitable for ages 7 and up. Class is intended to be done in-person and will include a late morning snack. Want more information? Feel free to give us a call. Registration is limited, in-person will be limited.
