In the shifting changes of today's world, I have decided that sewing classes will be thinned out this year in order to focus on more designing and creating. If you want a sewing class, I will be offering them through the early summer 2010 and then likely only once a year after that, if at all. Private sewing sessions may continue at the rate of $25 per hour.
Community support for such classes has been falling off over the last year...though I still get many requests for these classes, registration numbers just don't match up to the requests. I have been offering sewing classes since 2004 at highly competitive rates, but everyone seems to be struggling with the economy and can't support this effort. I even offered the idea of a membership based, low cost sewing program but no one expressed any interest. And so, it seems the Universe is saying....time for other endeavors!
Having said that, I will be putting forth my efforts towards my own designs and creations and my Etsy selling. I look forward to serving you in that capacity.
May you all be blessed in your creative endeavors!

And of course, you know the moment I posted this I received dozens of emails stating that I should not cancel my classes and that some people had been wanting to take my classes for 4 years! People, if you want these classes you must support them with your participation and your dollars. Otherwise they are not sustainable and cannot survive!
