Established 2008                                                                 

Welcome to the 18th year!! It’s hard to believe it has been this long.  So many new faces have joined in over the years to learn about one of the fiber arts!  It is a pleasure to meet individuals in search of a new craft!

Please read through this opening page. Browse the drop-downs at your leisure for more info.  Then please text with questions. Love any and all questions!!

PRICES:

Prices subject to change from year to year. Current prices will be discussed during our initial phone call.  Existing students will be given a minimum of a one month’s advance notice of any upcoming rate change.

Pre-class guided shopping trip price is a flat fee no matter how much time is needed.  This does NOT include items you choose to purchase. BUT plan that we will coupon the store to the max!! That’s one of my favorite things to do.  I try to keep as much $$ in YOUR pocket as possible.  That makes it just FUN, don’t you think?

PRICE INCREASES EFFECTIVE  BEGINNING OF THE YEAR OR IF A LAPSE IN CLASSES  

Class price for ALL classes per person for 3 hours of time in YOUR home will be discussed during initial phone contact.  You will provide your own sewing machine and supplies.  Need help choosing a sewing machine?  Please ask!  Help is available!!!  If you choose to shop for a machine independently, be advised that a machine with a retail price point below $225 is NOT a machine acceptable for classes as those machines have simply too many limitations.  You want a machine you can grow into over time, not one that you will be bored with in a short period of time.  It’s best to try and pair the prospective student (with help, of course) with a machine to grow into and not one that is too overwhelming either.

Considering a serger?  Please avoid Singer brand sergers – both new or used – as many have tension issues.  Call for current recommendations before purchasing.  For more information on this, please contact me.

Additional time beyond 3 hours is at the discretion of the instructor and are negotiable.

Serger Class is two sessions, each 3 hours in length.  This is a very busy, intense class.  More information can be found in the above tabs.

Confirmation required day before class via TEXT ONLY. Confirmation is the student’s responsibility.

Cancellation fee of $25 will be applied if cancelling  less than 2 (TWO) hours in advance of your class.  Due & payable at your next class.  This is easily avoided by contacting via text!  Of course, emergencies can and do happen at the last minute, just contact me as soon as you are able.

Las Vegas Sewing Instruction is designed for novice to more advanced sewers interested in clothing construction for themselves and others.  Assistance with Home Dec items  is available but may vary.  Lessons are given on a 1:1 basis in your home. I have experience with sewing for 40+ years, including serger work and some machine embroidery. Whether you want to learn basics or more advanced techniques, this is the class for you! Sewing lessons will be tailored to your ability level.  Students of all ages are welcome!  Suitability of young children for classes will be determined during our initial phone contact.  If you are under age 18, a parent must be present during class time, no exception.  Parents are welcome & encouraged to check on their children at any time during a class in your home!   LOOK at the drop-down tabs at the top of this page for more information.  Most everything you need to know will be found here.  After you read those, then give me a call!
