Adult Serger 101 and Adult Sewing 101

 Christmas is just around the corner and Janet is offering an Adult Serger 101 on Dec. 4, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM.  Cost is $30 for the class and fabric choice is up to you.  We will be making kids pajamas and pillowcases, perfect for that last little gift.  If you are thinking about a serger or have one you just don't utilize, this is an opportunity to find out how much fun it can be.  We will be using ribbing on the neck, wrist and ankle of the pjs.  Janet's grandchildren love the pillow cases she has made for them.  They have flannel and cotton woven pillowcases that match their bedrooms or their latest "favorite" character.  When you sign up for the class you will be given the fabric requirements.  You may need to pre-launder your fabrics so plan ahead.

Janet is also adding an Adult Sewing 101 due to recent demand.  There is one opening for this class.  The class will be Thursday, Dec. 9, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM.  Cost is  $30 for the class and $15 for the kit or a total of $45.  All you need to bring is your own sewing machine with book, tools and accessories.  If you haven't used your machine in years or are new to sewing come in and learn about your machine, and how to take care of it so it will cooperate with you.  We will also be learning about seams, curves, corners, gathers, and many other simple but important techniques in sewing.  We will finish off the day by creating a tote bag that is large and strong enough to carry your future projects to class.
