   Classes ....... July thru September 2008
   
  Join us for fun and learning . . .
               . . . by taking one of the many classes we offer each month.
   
 

   
  Our instructors are highly skilled or professional seamstresses.  They offer various levels of classes to challenge and inspire their students.  Each class offers techniques that will assist the student in achieving the class project.  These techniques can then be applied to other projects the student wishes to undertake.  Take a look at our offerings.  We are sure you will find a class that is "just right" for you!
   
   
 

The following detailed descriptions are for classes offered from July 2008 thru September 2008. 
Included are dates, times, fees and instructors.

   
 

LADIES!  It has been mentioned on several occasions that students and teachers are becoming ill as a result of perfume in the classroom.  PLEASE  do not wear fragrances to class.  Help every one feel their very best.  Thank you for caring!
