Thimbles & Threads Classes

My friend, Jenny Adair, has just opened a sewing school. She is a wonderful seamstress. She made the dresses for my bridesmaids as well as my "leaving the reception dress" which I absolutely loved!!

So if you are interested in learning how to sew, please check out her blog, thimblesandthreadss.blogspot.com for the dates and time of the following:

• Open Sewing Time, use her machines and space. 
• "Mommy and Me" classes
• Sewing Camps 
• Foundations Classes for kids and adults, a chance to learn the basics.
• Alteration Classes
• There are many project classes to take too!

I'm so excited for Jenny, and I know that this will be success for her. I know that anyone who learn from her will have loads of fun and walk away with new skills they can use for a lifetime!

Quiet Activity Book Project II

Tonight - Thursday, April 21

This month: Busy Bees 

Quiet Activity Book Project

Have you ever wanted to make one of those cute little quiet books? 

Well, here is your chance. 

Brittany Slesk has organized for us the opportunity to complete a book, one page at a time. 

• I believe this is the pattern. Check out what one lady did with it here. 
• She will get all the supplies and everyone who wants to participate will split the cost.

The first page is the Eye Spy/Matching Page

• There are 40 fabrics to choose from, but bring some scraps to use some of your own too
• Bring your sewing machine. If not, DON'T worry there's lots to help with!!
• Most of the fabric is cut to size, so most of the evening will be spent assembling the page
• Hopefully, it won't take more than an hour.
• Treats will be served

It's a lot of work, but could be a keepsake for your family, and it's so much more fun to work on a project with others.
