And now drumroll
please…..
I will be offering classes out of my home! I have been
wanting to do this for a while now and I am giving it a go. I do have a
sewing space set up in my basement and I have held private lessons here before,
but now I am scheduling some classes in hopes of spurring some interest from my
friends and sewist that have moved beyond the beginner level. These
classes are for sewist that can operate and thread their machines.
Amy

great shape and sew-in interfacing and a snap closure. All pattern pieces
must be cut out prior to the class. Construction of the bag will be done
in class.
Amy

Amy
Butler’s Gypsy Sling Bag – Sun, Dec 2 from Noon to 3:30pm. Cost is
$40, Limit 3. In this class, we will use Amy Butler’s Gypsy
Sling pattern to create this wonderful bag. The bag has leather handles, many
pockets and is generously sized. You will learn basic construction by following
a pattern. Precutting the fabric, interface and adhering (fusible/iron-on) the
interface is required prior to coming to class. Cutting the leather handles can
be done in class since it requires a special leather cutting tool (provided).

Payment is required to register. I can send a paypal invoice for credit
card payments or you can mail or drop off cash or a check. Your spot is
secured when payment is received. If you need to cancel or reschedule,
please allow for 48 hrs notice. If an emergency occurs, arrangements can
sometimes be made but if you are a no-show and no contact is made within 48
hours of the class, a refund cannot be given. Sorry…but I have had many
last minute cancellations and I often arrange for child care for my kids in
order to teach out of my home. Plus, there is sometimes a waiting list
and it is not fair to those on the list. Thanks for your understanding!!
Thank you all so much for being
a student of mine! I appreciate you and hope to see you again. If
you have any questions, please let me know.
Happy Sewing!
