Take a Class with Me! (With Discount!)

Exciting news, peeps. I'm teaching a couple 4-week intermediate classes at The Sewing Studio starting at the end of this month. And the owner has been nice enough to reserve these classes for my readers AND give you a discount.

The class is called Sewing Plus and it's a good fit for anyone with (at least) solid basic sewing skills. Everyone can decide on their own projects and determine their goals for the class (like learn bound buttonholes or perfect the fit of a pattern) and I'll be there to provide demos, guidance, moral support, and maybe even chocolate. The space is beautiful and fully equipped.

There are still spots in these two classes:
  • Tuesdays, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Starts July 19th.
  • Sundays, 3:00 to 5:00 pm. Starts July 24th.
The discount is $25 off. The cost of Sewing Plus is usually $175 plus taxes, which works out to $190.50. Minus $25, you'll pay a total of $165.50.

If you're interested, please e-mail me at gertie@blogforbettersewing.com. I hope you'll join me!

P.S. I also teach private lessons, which are great for all levels and can be scheduled at your convenience.

    Oh - I would so absolutely LOVE to if I didn't live across the Big Sea ;)

    It looks like a beautiful place - I adore the pink chairs

    I'm with DaneMum! I would totally be signing up if not for the slight issue of living in the far southeast U.S.! :'(

    Unlike the other ladies I live in New Jersey I moved here from Texas. I do not like taking that journey into the city but I may have to break down and do it because learning from you would be awesome

    Too bad you're not teaching at The Sewing Studio in Toronto. Maybe Denise would consider bringing you here for a course?

    Glad you got into teaching. I do sewing lessons in Houston, and it is so much fun to work with and teach so many creative people your techniques! Good luck!

    Darn! I wish I lived close enough to attend one of your classes!

    I'm not across the sea or even the country, but a 4 hour ride for a class does seem kind of excessive. Doesn't it?
