Spring sewing schedule

We're pleased to announce that Chrissy Weeks will be back to lead monthly sewing workshops here at Sheepish this spring! Sewing nights will be held on the fourth Thursday of each month, 6:00 - 9:00pm.

Upcoming topics will be:

March 27 - Sew an "Anything Organizer"
April 24 - Installing zippers and making buttonholes
May 22 - Sew a pillow (with the option of closing it with the zipper or buttonhole skills you learned at April's workshop)

On March 27, we'll finally be having the "Anything Organizer"workshop that had to be postponed twice over the winter due to ice and snow.

Of course, we think this project is an ideal place to keep your knitting needles and crochet hooks, but it's very customizable, so you can use it to store a variety of things.

 Here's the list of supplies you'll need to bring:

  • Your Sewing Machine, all parts and manual if possible
  • Scissors – 6 or 8 inch dress shears are best
  • Measuring tape and/or ruler
  • Thread to match your project (but please have white, gray and black with you as a back up)
  • Pins and pin cushion or magnet
  • Tailor's chalk or other washable marking tool (regular pencil will work in a pinch)
  • Extra sewing machine needles
  • Hand sewing needles (small for finishing and sewing buttons)
  • Seam ripper
  • Whatever you plan to put in your organizer: knitting needles, crochet hooks, pencils, crayons, make-up brushes, paint brushes, etc...

Cost for the class is $20 (CASH or CHECK only, please). That includes the fabric and the pattern.

To register, email Chrissy at c@chrissyweeks.com or give us a call at 404-377-6875.
