The past eight weeks have flown by. To coin the old phrase, "time flys when you're having fun". We've had so much fun at The Sewing School this semester. I'm so proud of how much the little women have accomplished and progressed. They don't cease to amaze me! I learn many things about life when they are in class, they love to share their experiences with me. We've learned more than a few stitches.

They've completed their little birds, gingerbread man, practiced and reviewed and are finishing up a sweet little Christmas Tree. The Thursday class will review all the rules of sewing, applications and stitches they have learned.

They surprised me with a beautiful white poinsettia and Christmas card. Ironically, I wanted to get a Poinsettia because I had the perfect container and place for it. Voila, I was delighted to recieve it. Thank you, sweet girls!

I will be posting a schedule for classes beginning in January. If any of you are interested in beginning classes or continuing, please contact me. I will do my best to accomodate anyone interested in a class. 3 students minimum and 6 maximum per class!

Any day spent sewing is a good day!

December is upon us and time is moving fast. The little women enjoyed their Thanksgiving break and are back to sewing and right on schedule. Tuesday they completed their adorable Gingerbread men. Thursday we reviewed our previous lessons and practiced threading the needle and some basic stitches. Threading the needle is so important for them to learn. Now we need to accomplish tying the knot at the end of the threaded needle, it's a bit tricky but they are trying their best. Next week we will begin making other exciting Christmas related items.


The children are developing a great sense of accomplishment! They are having so much fun and learning a life skill at the same time. Please join us, you will love The Sewing School!

Until next time," any day spent sewing is a good day! "

Birds have taken flight

We missed sweet Carson today, it is so sad to learn that her grandmother passed away today. Let us all say prayers for her.

We finished up our first project, the little birds. The girls did a terrific job. I am so impressed with their dedication and diligence. I am amazed at their ability and motor skills.

They were super excited to start on their Gingerbread person...be it a man or lady Gingerbread. Some stitched like crazy to finish it today, but they have to wait until next lesson to finish.

Everything is wonderful at The Sewing School and well ahead of schedule. We will most definitely finish some Christmas projects before winter vacation begins.

Come join us!!! Any day spent sewing is a good day!!!

Approaching the holiday season

I'm excited about the holidays coming soon. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for sharing with our loved ones and good friends. Catching up and sharing good food, memories and laughs makes everyone feel better about our futures. We gain a sense that all is well even if we feel life is a struggle sometimes.

I would love to start a sewing class session before the Christmas holidays. But this time of year gets too hectic. Unless the students are adept with their sewing skills, I think it would be a difficult time to teach and keep their attention because the little darlings will be so excited about getting out of school and celebrating the holidays.

I'm going to be doing good to get these last few weeks in before the hoopla begins. But I will be excited and super anxious to get the new classes started for the new year.

Meanwhile, I'll keep you posted on the progress of my current classes and show you photos of their precious handsewn work!!!

My Thursday class has been working diligently and getting ready to move on to some cute holiday projects. The group is amazingly eager to learn and so talented. I'm very proud of them!
