All our sewing classes run from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, unless otherwise stated. Be sure to bring your sewing machine, your basic sewing tools plus the items on the supply list below for an enjoyable and productive session.
Parking in our driveway is available but space is limited. Pull right up as we can fit up to 3 cars. If there is room in the front yard parking area, please pull in parallel to the road as tight as you can to the other cars (no bumping allowed) so there will be room for more sewers. There is direct access through the big door at the end of the driveway, then just a few steps down to our comfortable classroom. We do not provide meals so please be sure to pack a lunch for our full day classes. We are also located just a short walk from Twiggs Coffee Roasters if you wish to grab a bite nearby.

Making Friends With Your Serger – Be Serger Savvy
Saturday November 2, 9:00 – 3:00
From our 20+ years of teaching serger classes, our feedback indicates that Serger Savvy can be fun and informative, suitable for all levels of students.
In this “hands on” class, the focus will be on practical applications of overlocking with particular emphases on “cause and effect”. Topics covered will include standard 4 thread stitch, 3 thread wide and narrow, rolled hem, pseudo rolled hem, 2 thread edges, decorative edging, inside corners, outside corners and ovals.
Participants can expect to come away with a new appreciation of the overlocking process!
Bring your serger in good working order, 4 or 5 cones of thread, small scissors and all the accessories that you have.
YOU, OUR CUSTOMERS, ARE STILL ASKING FOR THIS CLASS. SIGN UP NOW AND BE SURE TO ATTEND.
Price $40
The Road Trip Wallet features 2 full-length zipper pockets that form the front and back “covers” of this book-like wallet. These covers flip open to reveal a center zipper pouch with an ID Window Pocket, and 2 sections of credit card slot pockets. The small size holds 10 cards, and the large, 16.
Use my unique method to create the straightest credit card slots! Draw your card slot lines quickly and precisely with our plastic template, available HERE at emmalinebags.com. Choose from 3 versions of closures to finish off your wallet. Note: Version C works with the large size only because the ID Pocket interferes with the snap in the small size.
Small Size: Width- 6 1/2” (16.5 cm) Height– 4.5” (11.5 cm) Depth- 3/4” (19 mm)
Large Size: Width- 8” (20 cm) Height– 4.5” (11.5 cm) Depth- 3/4” (19 mm)
