Classes

We have a calender up at the store with classes that Ruth is teaching during the days. She has Stack and Whack, Turning Twenty and Trip Around the World. If one isn't scheduled on a day you'd like, please talk to her about scheduling another time and day.

Classes are $40 for the day, starting about 10:15 am or 10:30 am.

New fabrics

Hello all,

Sorry we've been bad about updating this blog. Ruth's been busy rearranging the store and ordering new fabrics and tools. A few weeks ago we finally received about 100 bolts of fabric. One of Marie Osmond's lines, some cute children's fabric and others. So come in and check them out.

Location/Directions

We've been told that people are having a hard time finding us so I'll try and clarify. Our address is 2208 Primrose Ave, Building K. Our phone number is 956-687-7391. The store is directly behind the Bargain Bazaar on 23rd St.

If you are coming from Edinburg driving south on 23rd Street. You will pass Trenton and Dove (it's 5 streets down from Dove). Now you either turn left into the Bazaar's driveway and continue to the strip "mall" in the back or you may turn left at the lights at Primrose Ave. If you take the second option turn left into the second driveway and drive toward the Bazaar's back end.

From Harlingen or cities in the direction, take the 83 Highway West and take the 23rd St exit. Keep driving north and it's the next lights after Nolana. Same thing either drive past and turn into the Bazaar's driveway or turn right at the lights then a left into the second drive way.

At the bottom of the home page of this blog there is a map to refer to as well.

Beginning Sewing Class

Ruth is looking for students interested in her Beginning Sewing class. If you or someone you know has been talking about learning to sew this is the class for you.

Serger Classes

Yvonne Hylander has let us know she has completed the Serger Licencing from Martha Pullen and has 22 different project sheets from the week long session. So if there's any technique you've been wanting to learn send us a list and we can schedule classes. Also include which day of the week you're available as well as the time. Examples of classes are: Heirloom quilts, baby items (quilt, night gown, booties), beginner serging, lace blouse, etc. I'd like to do a beginner's class on a Wednesday or Friday so I hope others will put down those days!

The basic fee is a steal at $20 for a day class. Class size will be 2-5 students.

This is very exciting and I know we'll get a great response.

Calendar

I've added our yahoo calendar to the links area. It's a little sparce right now but as we add classes you'll be able to see more. When you click on the link you'll come to a web page with tabs above the current month (tabs = day, week, month, year, event lists and tasks). To get a better overview choose/click on the "month" tab. The pictures will still be posted here but sometimes it's nicer to be able to view what's happening in a different format.

Hope this is helpful.

Teachers Wanted

We are looking for people to teach classes during the fall and winter. As you know our Winter Texans will start returning in October and we'd like to get a class schedule set up for those months. We've had people asking for beginner classes, garment sewing classes, using sergers and I'm sure there's a number of different projects that would be of interest.

We have a form that outlines our guidelines plus giving us the information to pass on to students. If you have samples we could display them in our classroom and digital pictures could be posted in the blog.

If you have any suggestions please pass them along as we'd love to make this a great season for learning and sharing.
