Oh my goodness, am I ever excited? Wait till you see our first ever class schedule for January, February and March. We're going to have classes for sewers of all skill levels. Come into the shop to see the class samples on the wall and sign up for your favorites.
First, I'd like to introduce you to our teachers. Dotty is a delightful retired Home Economics teacher with a wide range of skills. She can teach you how to thread a needle and lead you all the way to a tailored suit jacket, learning one step at a time. Teresa also has a varied skillset background and has made gorgeous costumes for years. Purses and quilts are her "thing" now, and wait till you see the adorable items she has come up with for you to make.
Barb has been sewing for years and is probably the most prolific sewer I've ever come across. Her adorable pillowcases for all seasons and all occasions have been flying out of the shop. Now you can learn how to make them for yourself. And, I'll be teaching a class in quilting and getting a bit off track by offering a class to make our popular magnetic bulletin board.
Each of these ladies knows what they're doing and they have a good time doing it. So, come see why we think sewing is fun and soon you'll have caught the "sewing bug" too. Class sizes are limited so you get the personal attention you've come to expect at P.F.T. Individual class instruction is available for those who have never turned on a sewing machine.

If you prefer, bring in your U.F.O's(unfinished objects) the last Friday of each month and join us for "Sit and Sew" (January 30, February 27 & March 27). We'll all work on our own projects, enjoy some lively conversation and share a pot of coffee or tea.
Also, to support our local Ronald McDonald House in St. Petersburg, bring in your white elephant, leftover, and odds and ends fabrics and we'll cut them into squares and strips to create quilts for babies and small toddlers. Spend the day as we cut, piece and sew together quilts made with love for these deserving children. Wednesday March 4 from 1-5pm and Thursday March 5 from 10-4pm. Let's see how many quilts we can make together. All skill levels invited.
Well, there you have it. We hope that there is something here to whet your appetite. If there is a particular type of class you are interested in, don't hesitate to ask us for it!! Remember, we LOVE to sew and we love to share our passion for sewing with you.
Creatively yours,
Debbie
