Please Register Early!!

Columbus seems to be a place where most people wait till the last minute to do anything.. lots of "Last-Minute Marys"
And so it goes with registering for my classes.
Usually 48 hours before a class is to begin, the number of registrations for a class are checked. If a class doesnt have the minimum, it gets cancelled.
Recently I had several classes that were canceled because only 3 people had registered ahead of time. The very next day, one day before the class was to begin, 5 people called or came by to register only to find out that it was cancelled. If those 5 people had registered just a few days before, there would have been 8 happy people in the class. Instead we had 8 unhappy people missing out on the class all together.
...moral of the story...
REGISTER EARLY SO YOU DON"T MISS OUT!!

Saturday Summer Sewing For Adults

Heads Up for Summer Sewers 2012!!

This next summer we will have adult classes offered on six Saturday's during the summer months. This is the only adult sewing classes that will be offered during this time due to the fact that I will be teaching 18 Activ8 Children's Camp Sewing classes during the summer.

These classes will be an all-day class. They  will be run somewhat like "Sewing Like A Pro" where you work on your own projects at your own speed.
I will be there to offer my help whenever you need it.

Spend a whole day sewing and enjoying the company of other sewers. It is a BLAST!!

Save these dates:
       Saturday, May 26
                       June 16
                       June 30
                       July 21
                       August 11
                       September 1

Sewing begins at 10 a.m. anf finishes at 6 p.m....if that isn't a great day of sewing, I don't know what is.

... not recommended for those who do not know how to sew ("Ready, Set, Sew" is the class for you)

Bring your machine, sewing notions, and all supplies to make your project.

Bring a bag-lunch and drinks.

Great Job, Lydia!!!

Lydia in her great cargo pants

 Lydia is a senior in high school that I am mentoring for her 'Senior Project'.  She is in the "Sew Much More" class. These are the cargo pants she has made. The detailing that she did was incredible: fly-front zipper, cargo pockets, buttonholes, yoke-waist, and fringed bottom hem.
Awesome sewing!!!

Look at the detailing and the great fit!!!

Another Fun Saturday Sewing With The Kids

The girls made an adorable denim and calico print LINED purse with cute braided handles. A few moms wanted one just like it.

Great Job, Girls!!
