Spring 2009 Class Schedule

Here is a list of our classes for Spring. We have also listed our Kids Classes that will be held during the summer. We know that kids are busy and need to know their schedules to plan around summer camps and other activities. To register for any of our classes, please call 765-674-6001 and let us know the number of the class. We will take phone registrations; however, class handouts will only be sent when registrations are secured with a payment. We look forward to seeing you in a class soon!

Reminder: Supplies for our classes are to be purchased at SEW BIZ. In order to keep from increasing our class fees, it is important that the supplies for the classes be purchased here. Many shops charge double and more the amount of our class fees and we intend to keep our fees at the current rate; however, we need your support regarding supply purchases. Thank you !
