I’m extra excited to share that we’re adding two brand-new classes in October at Sewing and Fitting Mentor Studio:
✨ Beginning Quilting – Perfect if you’ve ever dreamed of stitching together a quilt but didn’t know where to start. You’ll learn the basics of cutting, piecing, and quilting step by step, while creating a project you’ll be proud to wrap up in. Joy Carlson will teach this class.
Session I Three classes – 9:30 am to Noon – Oct. 2, 9, 23
Cost: $75 plus pattern and supplies
Project: Quilt blocks for a Christmas- or winter-themed table runner
Session II Three classes – 9:30 am to Noon – Oct. 30, Nov. 2 & 9
Cost: $75 plus supplies
Project: A finished quilted table runner using blocks made in Session A
Alternative project: Bring your own “UFO” quilt blocks (or the ones you inherited from your grandma!) and learn how to complete a quilt top and finish the quilting process.
✨ Intro to the Coverstitch Machine – Ready to give your knits that professional finish you see in store-bought clothes? In this class, Cheryl Glassel will take the mystery out of the coverstitch machine so you can master hems that stretch and recover beautifully.
Both classes are designed to help you build confidence and add new tools to your sewing toolbox. I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with these skills!
