Following is my summer schedule for beginning sewing classes. I have developed a class for ages 8-11 to introduce them to sewing, which is being offered on three different weeks. You pick only one. I am also offering the Beginning Sewing Classes during the summer months. These classes will meet every day during the summer instead of once a week. If you are interested or have any questions, please call me at 860-496-7757 or email me at
