SEWING FOR BEGINNERS                                                    $45/$45/$75
This is a class for those completely new to sewing – for beginners and those with a little experience. You’ll be taught how to operate your sewing machine – an important first step in learning how to sew!  Lynn will introduce you to very simple but well designed projects.  Proceed with support at you own pace. As you begin to acquire more skills and confidence the projects become a little more challenging and make use of additional sewing techniques.  Although there are a limited number of machines available for class use, students are encouraged to bring their own machine. $10 materials fee is payable to the instructor. (No class 5/28

CAREFREE QUILTING FUN

Create a small quilt, tote bag or table runner while you learn the secrets of super-easy quilt making. We’ll work with several blocks from Joy-Lily’s just published book, Carefree Quilts - A Freestyle Twist on Classic Designs. These blocks have a casual style that looks great whether or not the seams match up. (Perfection is optional in this class!) New quilters will discover the latest tools plus cutting and sewing skills that make creating patchwork a snap. Experienced quilters will find new designs, color strategies, sewing machine care tips and piecing shortcuts to enhance your traditional quilting skills. Bring your own portable sewing machine if possible. (A few machines are available in class to share.) $10 materials fee is payable to the instructor.
