Dust off that sewing machine or use one of our machines and come learn the sewing basics. This class is designed for adults who want to have “fun” while learning to sew. If your high school home economics class was not your style, join PROJECT FUNWAY ADULT to give learning to sew a new twist! This is a practical series created to offer practical skills and mold to what the student wants!

 

We will be focusing on basic sewing skills and using them to create a detailed tote bag you will be proud to carry - and create again as gifts.


As always, we calibrate to the skill level of individuals.  Age 12 and up!

PROJECT FUNWAY - working hard!

YEP - We WILL be teaching one more round of PROJECT FUNWAY this summer. . . Moms - check out the ADULT classes - truly, these are so much fun and the time passes much too quickly.  No matter which class you sign-up for, please know that we calibrate the project at hand to the skill level of the student.  Once on the machine, 30 minutes into the first class, every child is so focused on THEIR project - they don't notice anyone around them!   Age is irrelevant to the kids once in class - really!!!  Our goal has always been to incite a joy of sewing by making each student feel victorious with their own project - from what we hear from our alumni parents - we have met that goal!  If you are happy; then, we are happy!!      Linda Raasch


PROJECT FUNWAY in the summer is ...

a sewing camp teaching beginning to intermediate sewing skills to girls 8 to 18.  Creating your own apparel and accessories, learning to walk a fashion runway, posing for photos, and participating in a fashion show is all part of the "fun" in PROJECT FUNWAY!

PROJECT FUNWAY all year round is...

a variety of sewing classes offered to children and ADULTS!   Join us for our Adult Series or a Fitted Skirt class or a class in Christmas Gift Ideas.   Please see our Class Schedule and Class Description pages for more information.

PROJECT FUNWAY happy campers!

This can be a summer camp session or class offered during the year.

INTERMEDIATE (201)


If you have taken our PROJECT FUNWAY 101 class (or other equivalent course) - AND - have been practicing your sewing skills since last summer, you will be ready for this class!  To be successful in this intermediate class, you must be proficient with the basic sewing skills* learned in 101 so you may be ready to create two of the following:  a simple dress, skirt, beach cover-up, tote, blouse, decorator pillow, or lap quilt based on the individuals skill level.  We will cover more advanced techniques including how to read/cut a commercial pattern, install a zipper, gathering stitches, darts, etc.  Materials included.
