    I loved this class so much! I was very nervous - I had been trying to teach myself to sew...with mixed results. The instructor was super clear and I walked away with a beautiful quilt! I can't believe it.

  • Sew Zipper Pouches

    Reviewed by Meara S. on 9/1/2022
    Diana, the instructor, was wonderful and I highly recommend the class. I know basic sewing but had never sewn a zipper. I was able to buy the supplies (very cute fabrics available) and supplies at the craft store, or you can bring them with you. The class was in a small group yet Diana gave individual attention to each of us to guide us into all producing really nice zipper pouches. Look forward to taking more classes here and with this instructor!

    It was great! Class size was just right, our teacher was attentive and knowledgable. Learned a few new stitches, feeling far more confident about how to sew with stretchy materials and I have a cute new top! Not bad for a Saturday afternoon.

    Great class! Our instructor Diane was knowledgeable and helpful, and patient with those of us who wanted to customize our work a bit more. Bring materials from home if you have to save some money. There were 4 of us in the class. Everything went smoothly, and everyone went home happy!

    Diana was a fabulous teacher! The class was well-organized and paced; I never felt rushed nor had to wait for others to catch up. Plenty of individualized time was spent with each of us and we all went home with a complete set of custom shorts, and even more importantly, skills to sew from another pattern. I’m so excited to keep sewing!
