Last night’s Beginner Sewing Class was such a fun group! 🧵✨

Watching students gain confidence, learn new skills, and realize they really can sew is one of my favorite parts of teaching. Every class is designed to be beginner-friendly, hands-on, and supportive so you leave with 2 finished projects and the knowledge to keep sewing on your own.

🧶 Looking for a Crochet Instructor! 🧶

The Sewing Center is looking for someone interested in teaching crochet classes! We’d love to offer a few small classes to keep things more personal and hands-on for students. I know there will be lots of interest, so we’d like to create a comfortable learning environment with a more one-on-one feel.

If you teach crochet or know someone who does, please message me! We’d love to collaborate and bring more creative classes to the community. 💛
