"She looks for wool and flax, and works with her hands in delight. She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She makes coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies belts to the tradesmen. Strength and dignity are her clothing and she smiles at the future." Proverbs 31:13, 21-22, 24-25 NASB

This class is for teens and adults and will include patterns and instructions for the following projects: a bathrobe, a more difficult skirt than Part 1, and a more difficult dress. More advanced techniques will be covered. Serger techniques will be introduced to finish the seam allowances.

SUPER FANTASTIC SQUARE QUILT

This class will feature the Super Simple Squares pattern Dreamtime. It will teach the basics of machine piecing that will result in a 60"x60" quilt or a 60"x72" quilt. Ages 12 and older. This is a 6 hour class. No rotary cutting is necessary since the squares are already cut for you. (If additional time is needed to finish the quilt, sewing time will be 2 hours for $5 on another date.)

MYSTERY QUILT

Have you always wanted to participate in a mystery block-of-the-month?? This program is perfect for you!

Each month, for 6 months, you will receive the pattern and instructions for traditional patchwork blocks. When you're all finished, you'll have a cute little "Old Glory" Sampler wall-hanging (32" x 24") demonstrating your quilting abilities and patriotic pride. Patterns include classic blocks found in traditional quilt-making.

EASY BREEZY QUILT

If you have always wanted to learn to quilt, this is a great beginner's pattern. You will learn to rotary cut and machine piece the quilt top. Class time will not allow quilting to be done, but you can come back during the Open Sewing time on Tuesdays nights to finish your quilts with a reservation. This is a 6 hour class for ages 12 and older. (If additional time is needed to finish the quilt top, sewing time will be 2 hours for $5 on another date.)

REVERSIBLE APRON

Make a darling reversible apron in one class. Students will learn how to read a pattern, lay out the pattern, cut it out and sew it all up! Some sewing experience will be necessary since there will not be time to cover use of the sewing machine in class. It is a 3 hour class for ages 10 and older.

HEIRLOOM BABY BONNET

Working with fine batiste fabric, elegant cotton laces, and satin ribbons, students will learn to create this darling baby bonnet. French sewing by machine techniques will be taught that include lace insertion and pintucks. It is so much fun and the bonnet makes a wonderful baby shower gift that will be admired by all. This is a three hour class for students with some previous machine sewing experience. Limit four per class ages 12 and older.

SENSATIONAL SKIRT DAY

Make a darling a-line skirt with an elastic waist, in a long or medium length. Students will learn how to layout fabric, pin the pattern, cut it out, and sew it up.

Elastic is provided. This is a two hour class for ages 10 and older. Adults will need to get 3 yards of fabric for the longer skirt and 2 1/2 yards for the shorter skirt. Some previous sewing experience is required.

The Joys of Sewing

Practical and beautiful garments, home decor items, and crafts!

Reserve your space ahead of time, so I'll know you're coming. Limit 4 per class. Bring your own supplies.
