Policy

When you sign up for a classsession, you are committing to allthe classes in the session. Please make all efforts to attend each class and arrive a few minutes before your class is scheduled to start forset up. This allows for the class to run more smoothly.

Missed Classes

I cover a lot in the class sessions. Each class builds upon the classbeforehand. It is very important toattend each class in your sewingschool. It may be possible to do a make-up class but not a guarantee. A make-up class is $10.  If there is no makeup class done, there is no guarantee you will finish yourprojects. Life is always hectic and everyonehas different schedules. Please let me know if there are other class times that would be better for anyone interested. Class size is always small with 4-6 people per class.

September/October Issue No. 5

Have you had time to sew? My church and family responsibilities has had my sewing on the back burner this past month! I have several “PhD” projects in the works that I’ve started and am trying to finish....Here are some of our class projects that are completed!

 

CLASS SCHEDULE FOR SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER

 

SEW AND SERVE THURSDAY, SEPT. 27 10AM-12 NOON AND THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25 10 AM-12 NOON

 

I decided that the name of this class needed to reflect the project. Since we are serving breast cancer patients with our sewing talents I renamed the “Sip and Sew” to “Sew and Serve”. Join us to make drain bags that will be donated to the Coliseum Cancer Center to be distributed to mastectomy patients. Bring any soft fabric or ribbon you have in your stash. We’ll cut, serge and sew as many bags as possible!
