PROJECT FUNWAY - Which class is right for you?
PROJECT FUNWAY ADULT SERIES I
Want
to know how to mend that pile of clothing? Put an original hem on your
own jeans? Make a professional decorator pillow? Fix the hem on that
favorite
blouse? Sew on a button properly?
Dust
off that sewing machine or use one of our machines and come learn the
sewing basics. This class is designed for adults (and their daughters)
who
want to have “fun” while learning to sew. If your high school home
economics class left you less than inspired, sign up for a PROJECT FUNWAY ADULT class 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 these skills to
create a
detailed tote bag that you would be proud to wear (or give as a
gift)!
As always, we calibrate to the skill level of individual.
Age 12+
PROJECT FUNWAY ADULT SERIES II
After
completing the Adult Series I, this class is designed to up your game!
We will learn to put an original hem back on jeans, create a designer
pillow
with piping, learn how to make simple curtains, perfect an
invisible zipper,
and other gift ideas. You may take any of the sessions and a project will
be 'tailor-made' for your abilities, desires, and skills.
Depending on time, we will give help with altering to fit a simple commercial pattern
you bring to class.
Age 12+
CHRISTMAS GIFTS IDEAS CLASS
This
class is geared for those students who have taken one of our basic
classes and has a sewing machine. We will be teaching a variety of gift
ideas to sew and re-create for gifts. Instructions and patterns will
be
available so the student can go home with the "know-how". Pillows,
aprons, cosmetic bags, jammie bottoms, ornaments, potholders, shoe bags,
scarves, pillow cases, sleeping bag covers, etc, . . . too many ideas!
I need to temper my
enthusiasm!
Age 9+
FITTED SKIRT CLASS
If
you have sewing experience and have mastered the basics, you can take
this class. I will help you draft an A-line or pencil skirt flat
pattern and
you will sew it in muslin so that you get the perfect fit
for your body.
Depending on time, you will be able to sew up a skirt in
cotton with facing
and/or lining, invisible zipper, and kick-pleat.
You will have the skills to
knock out a beautifully lined skirt for the
holidays - JUST YOUR SIZE!
