Sewing Classes in Suwanee, GA, Gwinnett County

Sewing is a passion for me.  I love the feeling I get when I complete a project.  It is such a shame that schools are no longer offering this skill.  I have enjoyed teaching children to sew and it is my purpose to make sure that this gift of art is not lost in our society.  This fall I will be offering several sewing classes in my workshop in Suwanee, GA. 

Come join me on a great adventure, that will last you a lifetime. 

Give yourself the gift of learning to sew!!
