CHILDREN'S CLASSES
I have 3 vacancies for children's classes on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons.
Classes are 2 hours long and cost $30 each.
Start times will depend on buses/ arrival after school.
Students will need to supply their own sewing machine and materials etc for all classes with the exception of the first one (I will supply fabric etc for a cushion. You will need to supply the insert).
Classes are suitable for students aged 10 and above. I have taken younger students on occasions. Students will do a series of set projects using sewing machines to learn basic sewing skills before being able to choose their own projects under my guidance.
Home school students can be catered for during the day.

NEW DAY & EVENING CLASSES
Wednesdays commencing Feb 12

I would dearly love to offer a Learn To Sew series in these time slots, though I have found most ladies prefer to attend General Sewing classes and work on their own projects with my assistance.
I believe you will learn better basic skills and understanding by completing the course and then build upon them by continuing with casual classes where you can work on projects of your choosing.

LEARN TO SEW - For Beginner or Refresher Sewers
(6 lessons x 3 hours
Followed by casual ongoing classes)

Tuition and basic kit $195
Students will need to supply own materials and pattern for pyjamas. Details will be advised at first lesson.

This course enables beginner or refresher students to start reference samples & sew a pair of pyjamas featuring a collared shirt and elastic waist boxer shorts. Techniques covered may include hems, seams, zips, gathering, buttons and buttonholes, corners and curves, basic stitches, collars, pockets, sleeves, elastic casing, & patch pockets. Students will also learn about the use and care of your machine, the importance of quality, needles, threads, fabric choices, selecting the correct pattern size, anatomy of patterns, and basic pattern adjustments. During class students will also learn to use an Overlocker for basic overcasting.
Students will need to bring their own sewing machine and supplies. Details available upon registration.

Daytime and Evening courses are available
(6 x 3hours)
Students must be able to attend all classes.
Due to the format of the course catchup classes can not be offered.

If either of these ideas interest you, please give me a call.

SATURDAY MORNING CLASSES

I have added the meeting dates to the calender for the Guild Groups in the Gold Coast Hinterland Region. There is one Group in Beaudesert, and three Groups who meet on the Gold Coast. There are a great opportunity to meet with like minded ladies and enjoy sewing in many forms. The Scenic Sewers in Beaudesert churn out a variety of things including garments, patchwork and quilts, charity items (including placemats, baby gowns & blankets, post masectomy bags, nurses gowns) costumes, gifts, mug bags, and much more. We have visiting tutors and shopping tours, industry days and generally share our knowledge and enjoyment of sewing.
Anyone who is interested in the Guild is welcome to come along to two meetings before joining. Heads up, there is usually a joining offer in February so that you get 14 months membership for the price of a year.
Have a look at the website www.aussew.org.au, we'd love to have you.

At the Craft Show in Brisbane (March 20-23), the Guild will be presenting daily fashion parades featuring members work. This is a very exciting opportunity to showcase the skills of ladies in the Guild and introduce ASG to prospective members. So if you make it to the Show, don't forget to stop and watch. I'll be there.
