Summer Sewing for Kids and Adults!

KIDS' ADVANCED BEGINNING SEWING & MORE Play more with your sewing machine.  If you know how to use your sewing machine, you are ready to tackle a pattern.  Whether you just finished beginning sewing or have been sewing longer, Jess will help you choose a project from a pattern that will challenge you, but not make you cry.  From pj bottoms to skirts and dresses, you are the designer!  You choose the pattern that inspires you.  If time allows, a second project may be chosen.
