April is "springing" upon us, and we have several "don't miss" events.
Grandma's Treasure Chest will be a new series focusing on children's clothing that will expand your skills in areas like reversible designs, appliqué, and elastic in our first series.
We also will have another Serger Boot Camp - see the details below.
Do you like to do hand work for a change? We are offering a smocked dress class where you can learn to do this hand art and then use your machine to sew it up into a cute little girl's dress!
We are also having our yearly Tent Sale this month and don't miss Peg Gowen's retirement celebration on April 18th.
The whole plan is in the April Class Calendar, which can be found on our web site or by clicking on the link:
It is Happy Hour every
Wednesday evening from 5pm to 8pm. Look for our weekly specials on
Facebook and
Instagram-- the special will be posted on Tuesdays around lunchtime to give everyone time to look and see what it is.
