We offer lots of great classes!

Our classroom is small, so our class size is limited. Classes do fill quickly, so in order to avoid disappointment, be sure to call or come in ASAP to reserve your place. Class enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis. All classes must be prepaid.  We do have a couple of “in house” sewing machines available for student use, but machines must be reserved at time of registration. Cost of class does not include books or materials. A supply list will be issued at time of registration.

Taking reservations for new classes now!
