Classes
Special COVID-19 Note:
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.

Do you have a Panel in your stash?
You love it, but don’t have a use for it yet?
This large tote bag is the perfect project. You will need a lining fabric to co ordinate, enough fabric for the front and back of the tote, fusible fleece to stabilize the body, and peltex to make a firm bottom.
(Fusible fleece and peltex are available at The Sewing Machine.)
Embroidery Club
To be rescheduled at a later date.
Choose a background and a variety of Ice cream colours of quilting cotton and embroidery thread. This is a good time to try metallic thread, cut away stabilizer and bobbin thread too.
All classes, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please bring your own embroidery machine.
Please contact the Sewing Machine to register.
Making Friends With Your Serger – Be Serger Savvy
To be rescheduled at a later date.
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. Fee: $40.
YOU, OUR CUSTOMERS, ARE STILL ASKING FOR THIS CLASS. SIGN UP NOW AND BE SURE TO ATTEND.

NOTE: Classes to be paid for in advance (class fees do not include HST). Should you prefer a class at a different time, or on a topic we haven’t covered, or would like to do one our past classes, find two like-minded friends and we’ll do our best to make it happen. After eight students are signed up, registration for the next available date will begin. Should a class have to be postponed or cancelled, you will have the option of attending the rescheduled class, signing up for a different one, or getting a full refund. Should you cancel less than one (1) week before a class begins, your payment will be forfeited.
