Sewing Basics ~ Fridays 7/11-8/1 from 7:00 to 9:30PM

Instructor: Crissy Phillips of Christine Phillips Design

Location: Old Pine Community Center

Dust off your sewing machine! In this four week, workshop intensive students will learn basic sewing techniques of functional, practical stitching. Students will also learn basic machine use, fabric selection and preparation, and basic pattern reading. We will be working with a simple pattern that incorporates all of these skills. Students will leave this workshop confidant in their sewing skills and inspired to sew, sew, sew! Class is suitable for both beginners and people with limited or no sewing experience.

Cost: 80.00 For more info and registration details, please email Megan.

Disclaimer- Due to the high demand, PSC Sewing Basics will be offered every month. To accommodate your schedules, we alternate sessions when classes are held on weeknights or weekends.

 

Battenburg Lace Workshop ~ Saturday, 8/9 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM

Instructor: Varya Piper

Location: Betsy Ross House

Beginning with a brief overview of handmade lace, both pillow and needle-made, this class will familiarize the participants with Battenburg, a needle-made lace based on a specially woven tape foundation. Patterns and materials for simple projects will be provided, and various filling stitches will be demonstrated; these stitches can be used in other types of needle-lace.

Cost: 25.00, plus $10.00 materials fee. For more info and registration details, please email Megan.

 

Maternity Jeans ~ Monday, 8/11 from 7:00 to 10:00 PM

Instructor: Megan Haupt

Location: Old Pine Community Center

Calling all crafty mamas or mamas-to-be! No more do you need to rely on costly (and let’s admit it, often unattractive) retail maternity clothes. Learn how to make your own maternity jeans in this very simple reconstruction workshop. Using a pair of jeans and some knit fabric, we will be making a pair of jeans that are fit for and designed by you!

Basic machine sewing knowledge is required, pregnant belly is not.

Cost: 35.00 For more info and registration details, please email Megan.
