Skirt your way to becoming a Sewist

Ladies,

Are there times when you wish you could whip up a skirt or a pair of pants the day before you need to wear them? Well you are in luck. This upcoming class will teach you how to make a skirt quickly, neatly and professionally using basic sewing techniques.

This class is for beginners and intermediate sewist. The only prerequisite is that you know how to operate your sewing machine i.e. Turn it on, thread it through from the spool to the needle, thread the bobbin, wind the bobbin, back stitch, manipulate the take up lever and maneuver the hand-wheel to move the needle up and down. If you can perform these functions you may register for this class. If you cannot please feel free to check out my 5 min tutorial on Parts of the Sewing Machine (http://sewfrugalandfashionable.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=723&action=edit) if you need a quick refresher. Additionally you can arrange for private and semi-private sewing lessons by sending me an email directly to SewingInstructor@yahoo.com .
