Open Sew Fridays - Come Sew With Us!
For only $10, join us on Fridays to sew in our classroom.  You'll have access to large sewing tables, cutting tables, cutting mats, and irons/ironing boards.  Work on any sewing project you wish, and if you need some advice or quick help, we'll be glad to assist you in between waiting on customers.  You may also rent one of our Baby Lock Jubilant classroom machines for $25 for the day if you don't wish to bring your own machine.  Please bring your own sewing tools (scissors, rotary cutters, pins, markers, etc.)  It's a very "sewcial" time & a nice bit of self-care to leave home & work responsibilities behind for the day!

We also offer private lessons for adults and children. 
Want to learn how to use your sewing machine or serger?  Have a project you need help completing?  Pretty much any sewing topic can be addressed in a one-on-one, private lesson.  $50 for a 2-hour session.  Just call the store (540-434-5663) to make an appointment.

This is a t-shirt pattern unlike any you have ever tried before.  It's made for a "real" woman and addresses the most common fitting issues we face: high round back, forward shoulder, and full hip and bust.  This pattern customizes to a good fit through the shoulder and neck areas.  Design details include an "essence of waist," flattering shirt-tail hemline, 3 neckline choices, and 4 sleeve length options.  We will include a full bust adjustment if needed.  You'll go home with a t-shirt customized to your figure and a pattern you can use over and over again!

Dip your toe into this historic & traditional art with a beginner-friendly quilt top pattern. We will sew strips of fabric together & cut into blocks, assemble the blocks for the top, and put together the quilt "sandwich" (top, backing fabric & batting in between).  To finish, we'll stitch or tie the layers together before attaching binding to the edges. You will have a choice to make a "throw" size (approximately 70" by 70") or a "baby" size (about 45" square).
