Norwalk Vacuum + Sewing 
MAY 2017

Happy Mother's Day

 
Mother's Day, Memorial Day, graduations, picnics, and the possibility of a wedding or two are some of May's activities.
 Get started on a patriotic or Mother's Day project today and have it ready in time for the holiday.
Things to make for these special occasions .... a new wall-hanging, table runner or throw quilt, show your pride with a new red, white and blue embroidery project!
  
How long ago did you change your vacuum belt?  Every 6 months is a good schedule - and look at your filters.  Is it time to replace them or the dirt bag??  We provide exceptional service and have or will order what you need to keep your vacuum running at top performance.

Many dads and sons received ties throughout their lives as gifts. As styles change some treasured ties are left behind tucked away in closets and bureau drawers. Let's re-purpose them! Or if you don't have any, root through the local Goodwill or Thrift Shop for some interesting prints at a great bargain. Using the ties, and a couple of small embroidery designs to create a great conversational, decorative pillow. It will add an accent to any room. The embroidery designs will be supplied at class, as well as stabilizer and an ivory silk for the back fabric at Norwalk Vac and Sew, or in a kit for only $15 on day of class.

VIKING/PFAFF SOFTWARE WORKSHOP
Wednesday 10th 
10am-12pm

 

Most stores only teach the most current software version. We would like to help those with any version of the Husqvarna/Viking or Pfaff software. Of course, your computer must be up-to-date.
Many of us find it difficult to use our software, even though we take monthly classes. While many of the lessons are helpful, it is sometimes hard to remember how to perform simple tasks and we may need a little individual help.
Here's the class for you OR someone you know that has the same problem.
