Sewing Courses

A unique, friendly, warm and inviting environment in which to learn the art of sewing.

Fabrics, and all notions are supplied and included (with most lessons) in the registration fee. Machines can be provided too!

The instructor is a firm believer in learning the basics first, and with 65+ years of experience, Dawne strives for excellence blended with a fun, friendly experience.

You will learn to sew the professional "hand-made" way, because home-made projects just aren't good enough.

Start with the most important basics of how every machine operates, putting it to work for you. End with a finished garment you will be proud to wear. Pattern, fabric and all supplies are supplied, even a machine if you don’t have one.

Taxes are included in registration fees.

Beginner Basics

How to read a pattern, select the right fabric, layout and cut out the fabric, then complete the project (PJ or Casual pants). It is exciting to see them come together. Everything needed for this project is included.

Taxes are included in registration fees.

Sergers Level 1

Sergers Level 2
