Adult Beginner Classes

These Sessions are open to Teenagers and Adults (ages 15 and up).  
They  are 1.5 hours in length once a week.  Cost: $100, including Adults
Can Sew Activity Workbook.  Each Session is a 4-week commitment
class. (For Summer Class dates - please scroll down.)  A deposit of $50
secures you of a seat.  It is recommended that first time students
purchase the "Adult Beginner Activity Packet", which will be handed out to
you on the first class.  This packet is a great investment to learn the
basics in sewing and has seven simple patterns to choose from.  After
you've completed several projects from the workbook, you may try
working on an easy commercial pattern.  For ideas on easy patterns visit:
Simplicity Patterns.


OPTIONAL: Student has the option to register for 4-week session with
duration of 2 hours per class (total of 8 hours of sewing).  Cost $115, incl.
Adults Workbook.  
All first-time students will begin their first project by making the "Sewing
Bag" (Draw String Bag).  On the first class you will need the following
supplies. About 3/4 yard of woven blend fabric (e.g. denim or any other
sturdy fabric); 2 1/2 yards of cording, and an "all purpose" spool to match
fabric.  If you want to make this bag into a "Back-Pack", you will need 3
1/2 yards of cording.

Classes are on a continuous basis, and students may return any time to
further their knowledge of sewing.

Seats are limited to 5 students per class, with a minimum of 2 students.
Classes are on a first come, first served basis.  Please call
770-254-2659
