WEDNESDAY - SATURDAY CLASSES

Kathy McMakin

Sewing Organizer and Pincushion by Serger
Keep your notions and sewing tools at your fingertips in these handy sewing accessories that are perfect for classes. You will love the quilted base - one long edge of the caddy slides under your sewing machine or serger. The pocket of embroidered insertion and French lace hangs out of the way of your work while holding all of your tools at ready. Never go looking for notions again! When you’ve finished serging, tuck the pincushion into one of the lovely heirloom pockets, fold the organizer and tie it with matching grosgrain ribbon to keep everything neatly organized. A great gift for all crafters!

Kathy McMakin

Knit Pillowcase or Drawstring Bag by Serger
Afraid of serging with knits? Then fear no more. This is the class for you. Fill the bag with your favorite things or stuff it with a travel pillow – it can also be a great baby pillow! Whichever you choose, you will not only love these techniques, you will be planning more serged knit projects before the class is over! Your quick and easy creation will have Victorian beading, silk ribbon, edging, knit fabric and more. This will be a great warm-up project before you tackle the baby gown.

Kathy McMakin

Knit Baby Gown by Serger
Unbelievable! Create a baby gown in a jiffy? No way! Yes, way quick and easy, and all done with your serger. Our lusciously soft Martha Pullen knit is combined with its dyed-to-match ribbing to make the perfect outfit for your favorite baby. Learn the tricks for serging knits and watch your project take shape before your very eyes.

Pam Mahshie

Heirloom Nightgown
Many of you have requested that we make a nightgown - so here we go on a day’s journey of machine magic with Pam. This 100% cotton heirloom nightgown gives you a chance to make sleepwear that is functional, yet elegant. The yoked nightgown has an embellished overlay that includes tucks, beautiful machine embroidery and very special lace techniques. Baby Lock will provide the Ellisimo embroidery and sewing machines for you to use in this class. The features of the Ellisimo will make all these heirloom sewing techniques simpler than you ever dreamed.

Missy Billingsley

Zippered What Not Bag
How can you put in a zipper with your serger? EASY! Of course, Missy and Margaret make everything easy. Your cute little bag coordinates with your garment bag and it’s designed to hold that assortment of things that must travel with you. So wherever you plan to travel – be it sewing classes or trips far and near, we guarantee this will be one of your favorite projects of all time. But please don’t tell anyone how quick and easy this bag is to make. Let’s keep that secret zipped up just between us!

Dody Baker

Lingerie Bag, Gift Bag or Boudoir Pillow with
Customized Embroidery
Is it a pillow or is it a bag? The answer depends upon what you stuff it with! And in this case, your nightgown will be a perfect fit. This convertible envelope is created using gorgeous silk dupioni, French laces and lovely silk satin ribbon. You will enjoy getting better acquainted with specialty accessory feet as you learn to bring in customized embroidery and designer detailing. So in answer to our question, stuff your finished project with a pillow form and it's a pillow. Make it a home for a few pieces of heirloom sewn lingerie or your heirloom nightgown and the envelope converts to a lingerie bag or you can insert a special card or note and give it as a gift. Many uses in the time it takes to make one project. Now that's good stuff !

Missy Billingsley

Garment Bag
Coordinating fabrics of gingham and solids are the base for this garment bag. The top panel of the bag is decorated with the three “P’s” of heirloom sewing - puffing, pintucks and piping - all created on your serger! Large covered buttons with serger-made button loops close the front of the bag. This garment bag will keep your precious hand-made garments safely tucked away or it might be just about all you need to carry for a quick overnight trip. What a fabulous and practical addition to your travel accessory collection!

Optional Tuesday Night Class with Kathy McMakin and Dody Baker

Little French Bonnet - Tuesday Night 5:00 - 8:00 ($60 including kit)
“Little French Bonnet” is loved the world over and is one of our very favorite classes to teach. This sweet bonnet is the perfect project for those who have never done any heirloom sewing, those who need a refresher course, those who can’t wait until Wednesday to sew or those who need a precious baby gift. The techniques used to create the bonnet are basic, but each one is necessary for all heirloom sewing projects. Tips, tricks and techniques for attaching Swiss batiste, French lace, Swiss embroidered insertion, entredeux and silk-satin ribbon as well as gathering and attaching a ruffle are all demonstrated in this little baby bonnet. If you don’t have anything to do on Tuesday night, come sew with us. We promise a fun time and a completed bonnet.
