Join Terry for a full day of sewing as you learn how to confidently cut and sew angles while creating a fun table runner. This is a great class for building your skills, using up some of those treasured leftovers, and turning fabric scraps into something you’ll actually use.

✨ Practice cutting angles
✨ Build confidence sewing angles
✨ Get hands on guidance from Terry
✨ Give leftover fabric a whole new purpose

Come sharpen your skills, dig into that stash, and create something fun with us!

🧵✨ Your Serger Can Do More Than Finish Seams! ✨🧵

If your serger has been sitting there doing the same job over and over again, it might be time to see what else it can do.

Join us for Serger Techniques and start thinking outside the box as you explore new techniques and creative possibilities with your machine.

📅 Tuesday, July 14, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

This class is all about expanding your skills, trying something new, and discovering just how versatile your serger can be.

✨ Explore new serger techniques
✨ Build confidence with your machine
✨ Discover creative ways to use your serger
✨ Think beyond basic seam finishing

Project to be announced, so stay tuned!

Come learn, experiment, and give your serger a chance to show off a little. 😉

☀️ Kids bored? It’s hot outside? We’ve got an idea. 🧵😄

📅 Saturday, July 11, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Skip another morning of “I’m boooored” and let them spend a couple of hours learning something creative, building confidence, and making a project they can actually be proud of.

This month, they’ll create a travel Tic Tac Toe game that’s perfect for summer road trips, vacations, and keeping busy on the go!

✨ Fabric and thread are provided
🧵 Basic sewing tools are included
✨ Kids learn to use sewing tools and machines
💛 Each monthly project is designed to be completed in about two hours

If your child has a sewing machine at home that they’ll continue using, bring it along so they can learn on their own machine. Otherwise, we’ll provide one for class.

It’s cool inside, the sewing machines are ready, and nobody has to hear “there’s nothing to do” for at least two hours. 😉

Sign them up for Kids Sew this Saturday!
