 This is an advanced class, please sign up for our beginner course on February 16th or contact Robbie Berg here: robbie.berg@yahoo.com if you feel you are able to bypass the introduction course.

Join Robbie and Michelle for an advanced course on Sewing and Quilting. The course is a follow up course designed to further your sewing skills based on what was learned in Beginning Sewing and Quilting Essentials on February 16th.

Take your sewing skills to the next level. This class teaches how to apply sewing skills to small projects. Each month Michelle and Robbie will design a simple project to help you practice your skills and create a useful item to keep or gift using  sewing and/or quilting basics.

You tell us what you would like to make!
Monthly projects could include:

Table runners
Candle mats
Market bags
Placemats
Lap size quilt

Each month we will present options for the class to decide the project for the next month. A supply list will be sent out for projects which can be filled with fabric from EVFAC or the local Quilt Shop, Quilter’s  Corner. 

Sewing Machines:

Sewing machines are provided by the center, but if you have your own machine you are encouraged to bring it along with you to class. Robbie has an extensive knowledge of most machines, and it would be wonderful if you were to learn to use your personal sewing machine. Please let Robbie know if you intend to bring your machine, what the make and model of the machine is, or if you have any other questions by contacting her here at robbie.berg@yahoo.com

Fabric scraps, batting, thread and basic sewing supplies are provided for the first class. However, if you have a preferred thread, scissors, and other sewing notions, please bring them.  If using your own machine remember to bring any accessories needed like extra bobbins and presser feet. Also remember your power cord, foot pedal, operating manual. 

Because we’ll be working through the lunch hour, please bring food and beverages to keep your strength up.

The images for this class are taken from free patterns, they are all ideas of what can be made in this class!
