I will be offering sewing and smocking lessons this semester. A typical class is one hour once a week. Below are some of the classes I will be offering, however, I'm flexible and can tailor the class to your needs!

Beginner's Class: Pillow and Apron

I plan to start out with the sewing basics such as getting to know your machine, sewing terms, how to read a pattern, etc. We will complete a pillow and a simple apron.

Intermediate Class: Skirt

Some of the things we might cover in this class are waistbands, zippers, buttonholes, and ruffles depending on the pattern.

Advanced Class: Dress

We will learn to put in a zipper, set sleeves, make buttonholes, create pleats, etc.

Basic Smocking:

We will cover the basic smocking stitches, as well as smock and construct a simple child's dress.

If any of you out there have an unfinished smocked dress that you never knew how to put together - I can help with that also! :)

I am available afternoons Monday thru Thursday. The classes will be small with a maximum of two girls/women per class. For moms with small children that live locally and want lessons for themselves , I am available to come to your home if that suits you best. The cost will be $15 per one hour class plus any fabric and notions needed for projects. I will also provide sewing machines for students to use during the lessons.

Please email me if you are interested!

Sewing Lessons

Sewing Lessons

I will be offering sewing lessons at my home on Fridays starting February 25th. My plan is to do a class from 2-4 and if there's enough interest I could do another class in the morning from 10-12.

Classes will be small with a maximum of two girls.

For Beginners I'll start out with the sewing basics such as working with a machine, sewing terms, how to read a pattern, etc. and then we will complete a pillow, and finally an apron.

For Beyond Beginners or Older Girls, I will teach the same basic sewing skills, but we will complete a skirt or simple dress instead of the apron and pillow.

The cost will be $10/hour and the girls will need to bring their own fabric and notions. I will let moms/older girls know in advance what will be needed for each class. It would be best to bring your own machine to learn on, however for those who don't have a machine I do have one you can use during the lessons.
