Summer is just around the corner and if I had a dollar for everyone in Lynchburg who has asked me if I can teach them to sew….well, I probably would teach them all for free! I’m excited to offer small group sewing lessons for Modern Quilting and private sewing lessons! These classes will be for 4 weeks in June and include all the fabric and batting you need to complete your craft. Plus you will have me, helping you every step of the way! I’ve got four different options for all aspiring seamstresses!
Other summer plans include a few Maker’s Cottage Craft Nights for gals. Plus, a fun workshop for little girls to sew and craft for their American Girl dolls. My daughters are pretty excited for all of these classes and seem to think I planned them just for them, but I certainly hope you will join us too!
If there is enough interest I would be happy to teach an adult class on how to sew clothing for yourself. The possibilities are endless!
Here are the sewing classes available, there is a limited number of spots, so be sure to sign up once you check your summer schedule!
