Hi Beginning Sewers,
I am Sue, your instructor. I am looking forward to your joining our class.
I run my class in a very relaxed atmosphere. I want you to enjoy sewing as you learn.
If you don't have fun...it isn't worth it.
You probably have loads of questions about beginning your first class. Hopefully this will answer a few of them:

What do I need to bring to class?
All you need to bring for the first class is, perhaps, a notepad.
EXCEPT if your class runs only for 3 weeks. If that is the case, you Do need to bring your sewing machine to the first class.

During your first class we may take a car-pooled field trip to  Hancock Fabrics to learn about fabrics, notions, and what you will need to buy.

We will discuss everything you will need for the rest of the classes.

For an idea of what you may want to purchase for future classes, check out my Blog in the MENU- A Note From Sue/
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

What if I don't own my own sewing machine, do you have machines to use?
Yes, CSU has machines to use in class.

Check out my article on "How To Buy A Machine" under A Note From Sue in the Menu.

Can I bring my own machine?
Absolutely! I prefer you learn on your own machine. I suggest that you use a luggage carrier or something with wheels to transport your machine from the parking lot to the classroom. It is a long trip.

...you say, "I had some sewing in high school but it has been a while. Should I start in 'Ready, Set, Sew' or go on to the next level: 'Sew Much More'?"
It is best to start at the beginning...again. Many things have changed with patterns, sizing, machines, etc. A little bit of review would do you more good than harm.

Hopefully I will answer ALL of your questions during the first class. Feel free, however, to post any other questions you may have or contact me directly at sewingwithsue@yahoo.com

Looking forward to meeting you.

Sue

Sewing With A Pro

Thursday, September 5, 12, 19, and 26   from 10 till 1
Tuesday, September 17, 24, October1, and 8   from 6:30 till 9:30
Thursday, October 31, November 7, 14, and 21   from 6:30 till 9:30
Wednesday, November 6, 13, and 20   from 9 till 1

This class is for intermediate to advanced sewers who still feel they need a "Sewing Mentor" at their side for guidance, when needed.

The concept of this class is for you to work on a more individualized basis while advancing your skill levels and techniques.
With my guidance, as your mentor, to give you help and suggestions, you will become more successful and self-sufficient.

In this class you will choose your own project and work at your own pace and skill level.

Bring your machine,basic sewing supplies, and a project of your choice( pattern, prewashed fabric, and notions).

Remember... don't bite off more than you can chew. Choose a project that has a few new techniques in it than your last project. If you get something too complete it will only lead to frustration. If you need guidance in your selection, email me.

This class may be repeated as many times as you like. It is a great way to 'schedule' your sewing time.
