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 !
