"Sew & Steady" is a relaxed pace series in which we take it slowly, dive into the zen of sewing, and enjoy the satisfaction of completing a project within your class time-- no homework!
Our experienced and enthusiastic instructors will guide you through each step of the project, sewing right along with you to show you in real time how to tackle your sewing. You will also learn how to troubleshoot any sewing problems you might encounter either with the project itself, or with your sewing machine. This way you never feel like you are going it alone!
