Classes at Art & Soul!

Starting in a couple weeks, I will be teaching classes at Art & Soul. A&S is a really awesome new facility hosting classes in art, cooking and now, sewing! I am really excited about these classes, and hope they go well! Sewing is an important pastime to me. It runs in my family and I have been sewing for....well, as long as I can remember! In this fast-paced world we live in, "slow" hobbies like sewing need to be preserved. Also, handmade things connect people on a personal level, and everyone should have something handmade. And, of course, it's always fun to show off the things you've made!

Below are links to all of the classes available and photos of samples I made. These are all pretty easy projects, designed for the beginner and meant to build skills. You do need to have a sewing machine in good working order. Tune-ups start at $38 at Husker Sew and Vac. So dust off that machine and let's get sewing!!

Learn about your machine and test out the different stitches it makes. Test out various fabrics, and receive tips on fabric and thread selection, ironing and project ideas.

Sew Easy-Level 1








Sew your own cloth napkins and matching dish towel! Impress your dinner guests!


Sew Clean-Level 2









Simple, cute pillow sham! This can be made for any size pillow. A great way to redecorate on a budget!
