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!!

Hey Sewers,
Sew, you made it through Ready, Set, Sew. Congrats!!
Now you should be ready to get down to good sewing.
In this class you
will be learning more about patterns, how to cut, read them, and
understand what you read. You will be making either a pair of fitted
dress pants, or a fitted skirt, or a simple dress.
The pattern suggestions are listed under 'Sew Much More' in the Menu.
You will begin to learn garment construction such as : darts, facings, how to sew a zipper in, and hems.
You should purchase your pattern, fabric, and notions listed on the back of the pattern PRIOR TO CLASS!!. The back of your pattern should show you how much fabric to buy according to your size (not your dress size for Ready-mades but according to your measurements).
Remember to prewash your fabric.
Your pattern may require you to purchase interfacing. Don't purchase it yet. I will tell you all about that in class.
Of course, bring your machine and basic sewing supplies.
If you have any questions, you know where to find me.
