Sewing and craft classes!

Hi friends!
I guess my heart always leads me back to crafting and sharing my passions with others! My return to school has been a huge blessing, however it has put a serious damper on my creative spirit and hands-on crafting time. My heart is always happiest when I can "sew" my creative seeds in the hearts of others too!!! 

I've always dreamed of opening a studio where all of my creative loves can be woven together, enjoyed by all who visit and where the atmosphere encourages creativity, self confidence and well general warm fuzzy feelings/giddiness. I know I must work towards my goals, I feel confident the Lord is directing my path. So with that said- I'm taking small steps toward my dream! I'm inviting you my home workshop where I'm starting with sewing classes and we'll just see what else happens! Creating is therapy, art makes my soul sing!

Details:

• Classes are limited to four students.
• You may bring your own machine, however, there are four machines available in the workshop. 
• If these fill up I will open up Tuesdays also! I will repeat these classes in July too. 
• Materials are provided in class and most pieces are pre-cut to save precious time and frustration for those not experienced with rotary cutting. 
• I will post photos of project samples as they are ready.

Please forward to a friend that you think might be interested! Feel free to email me with questions!

Hope to see you sewing soon!

I want to do this!

Eric got me a used sewing machine but I know nothing about them really to know if it is any good or if we should just get a new one. I know how to do some basic things but need refreshed plus I want to learn more. I have projects that I want to make...one is taking t-shirts and using the enblems/logos on them and make a quilt top out of them...I love these bags that I see people make. But mainly to feel more confident in myself and to start and finish a project!

Hope you might do some scrapbooking classes sometime! My sister and I took the class you did several years ago to benefit the Alma HS after-graduation bash. You are an awesome teacher and scrapbooker!

Hey Carolyn-
thx for your kind words! I may possibly venture back into some craft/scrapbook classes so keep an eye out. Take care! jw

Hey Deedra-
dont know if you saw my reply on fb but Id love to try to help you with your machine and or help ease you into the ins and outs of sewing. You never know with used machines but more than likely its fine. You can google the model and find the manual online. This will usually provide you with a threading diagram. You might check that out. If you want to join in class just let me know. You could bring your machine and I could look at it. Im no expert but I tore into three of mine today and serviced them and its pretty easy to figure out if they are junkers or not. LOL!

 
As far as class, I have one spot Thursday. Or if youd want to get a few (4-5) friends together I could come to you...I cant remember exactly where you live but I know its a little ways south right? Booneville? Just let me know. I love sewing. And I am NOT a patient person! hee hee!

 
Take care girl!
Janna

Jeg tror at ditt perspektiv er dypt, det bare godt tenkt ut og virkelig fantastisk å se noen som vet hvordan å sette disse tankene ned så godt. God jobb på dette
bloggen din er veldig good.It var veldig godt skrevet og lett å forstå. I motsetning til flere blogger jeg har lest som er virkelig ikke bra. Jeg har også funnet innleggene dine veldig interessant
