Now that it’s hot outside, I am back to more time in my sewing studio. Jordan’s wife, Brittany is spending time in there with me learning how to sew. She will be staying with us while Jordan is on his deployment to Japan. She has been cleaning houses for several years in California, and is looking for a few jobs here during her 10 month stay with us. If you are in need of a break - you can leave a message for her here at the shop. Brianna has started her basic sewing classes for those of you that would like to wear something that actually fits as if it were made for you! She is starting with simple pants. These can be pajamas, sweats or summer capris. I added one last baby basics class for those of you that have not been able to get in because of overfilling. We will cover diapers, diaper covers, burp cloths, receiving blankets and a quick quilt project… all in 2 hours! This Friday is your last chance. We also have two all day quilt classes, one is the TriDazzle Quilt in a Day. Very simple - stop in and see our fabulous flannel sample! The second is a repeat of Urban Chain, the incredibly popular simple curve class that was filled in a matter of days back in June… now’s your opportunity to make this stunning quilt!! So, it’s too hot to be outside unless you are by the water - so come down and hang out with us. We’ll teach you something new. And of course, as always, we have new fabric and the newest notions arriving daily! Cindi
Class sizes are limited. Sign up early to reserve your spot!
Basic Class Supplies: When you sign up for a class with us, you will receive a supply list. This will cover fabric needs, any precutting that may be necessary, and any helpful tools you’ll want to bring. In addition to the above, you’ll always want to have a machine you are familiar with that is in good working condition. We have two loaners available at the shop that can be rented for $5/day if necessary. All class supplies can be found on the website. If you have questions about the specifics of a certain class, you can call the shop and ask for Cindi, or e-mail me directly at
[email protected]. As a reminder, children are never allowed in the classroom. There are too many dangers for little ones.
Current Clubs: The series are an incredible amount of fun with great benefits: a common group of friends that you get to know and look forward to seeing each month; a small investment of time (only two hours per month); new ideas, techniques and tools and great door prizes. We have a varied mixture of “clubs” and “BOM’s” (block-of-the-months). Blockwatchers (meets the third Wednesday of the month from 6pm - 8pm) (Cost: $40/series) (Duration: 6 months) We will be working on a sampler featuring 12 different blocks with a fun star sash. We are on class 5 of 6. Watch for new series starting soon. Jo’s Club (meets once a month on the first Wednesday) (Cost: $30) (Duration: 4 months) This series began in May. We work on small projects, focusing on hand work and the joy of quilting. We make wallhangings, small quilts, and “needful things”. Class does not require a sewing machine.
