Welcome

Welcome to my new newsletter ladies,

I have used a fairly broad mailing list, so if you no longer wish to receive emails from Sewing With Wendy, please use the unsubscribe button at the end of this newsletter.

Things have been a bit busy behind the scenes at Sewing With Wendy lately. We are in the process of expanding our Embroidery range to include Printing. There are 2 printers on the way - one to print DTG or Direct to Garment for cotton fabrics such as tee shirts, calico bags and also canvases.
The second printer works on synthetic fabrics and items, which includes clothing, promotional items, photo panels (very exciting), tote bags, purses and wallets, and other interesting items that will fit within the print frame.
Soooo much to think about and things to get done before it all happens - but it will happen.

I have released some new start dates for the Learn to Sew Course. I am offering day, evening and Saturday classes. However, any class requires a minimum of 3 confirmed students to proceed. So if your are interested please let me know asap.
Happy Sewing
Cheers
Wendy
