Sewing class ladies

I called Joann's this morning to see how much the sewing class costs.  The Sewing 101: Basics is $35.  She said the class description is pattern reading, sewing machine and tool basics.  She said it's a VERY basic class.  Do you ladies already have experience with sewing machines? 

The crochet class is the same price and it's tool basics and single & double stitches.

 

Re: Sewing class ladies

  • Ooo, this is good to know. I've had a sewing machine for at least 5yrs and still am so clueless on how to use it. My mom tried teaching me some, but I still don't feel comfortable using it so when I need alterations I still go to mom, but with the sewing machine and the clothes now. lol... It would be nice to be able to use it.
  • I stopped by and grabbed the schedule and price list last night! Smile  I have been sewing for a few years, so the intro class might be a waste of time for me.  did any of the other classes sound like fun?

    I might be interested in the "Wear Anywhere Skirt" class.  It's on Friday Oct 7th and Friday Oct 14th from 5:30-8:30.  It teaches you to use an advanced pattern and to insert a zipper!  (Both things that I could do, but could definitely use some more practice at!)  (Class costs $75 though)

    Or I might be interested in "Slanted Pillow" which is one of the quilting classes, it shows you how to create a quilted pillow with fabrics on the bias.  It's only $40 and is on Friday Oct 7th from  6-9.  

    And for anyone who is interested I"m pretty sure I'm going to do the Wilson Cake Decorating "Course 1 Decorating Basics".  It's 4, 2 hour sessions (Thursdays in October 6:30-8:30pm) for $27 total.  It teaches you how to ice and decorate cakes, cookies and cupcakes.  Design star-covered cakes.  Pipe ribbon roses, drop flowers, mums and other flowers, and to create shell and rosette borders.  Let me know if you're interested!

  • If I can have my mom teach me the sewing basics I might be interested in taking a different class.  Does the schedule you picked up from the store have class descriptions on it?

    Yes!  The descriptions are on the sheet that I grabbed.  Do you know which class you might be interested in doing?

  • I'm still interested in the sewing basics class... even if no one else ends up doing it, I'll probably still go. 

     I wish I could do the cake decorating one, but I can't commit to all the classes : (  I feel like with it being four classes, it'd be a waste to miss one.
