Classes in my Home, Sewing, Quilting and Serging

Way back in the 1980’s I taught classes in my home, sewing, quilting, and machine knitting.  It wasn’t unusual for my children to come home off the school bus to find a room full of “aunties”.  Then I went “store-front”, moved it a few times, changed the focus, thrived, sold, and moved on. I’ve now come full circle, teaching classes in my home again.  

I have a few more tables to set up, as well as an ironing station and a cutting table.  There will be space for 6 (and there is room for 6 cars in our driveway.)  It’s in my basement, and there is a full bathroom on the same floor. 

Note: we share our home with 3 cats.

The Sort of Classes I’ll Teach

Hands-on classes in sewing, serging, and (if there’s enough interest), machine embroidery.  When I owned my store, it thrived because of our classes, and people are still looking back on them fondly.   I LOVE to teach, read more here.

These classes will not be the same as the ones I teach locally.

My first class here will be Quilted Bootie Slippers, Friday December 8th from 10-3 pm.  Cost is $30 which will include the pattern for the size of your choice.  My personally drafted full pattern range in women’s adult sizes is available as a printable PDF download for an additional $10. 

Bring your lunch and a spill-proof bevie container.  Tea and coffee as well as bottled water will be available. 

A full supply list will be sent by email upon registration/payment and a printed set of instructions will be given the day of the class.  Email me at yvettechilcott@yahoo.ca with questions and/or to register and etransfer your payment to the same address.

Please share this post with your sewing friends, and in the meantime, I’m open to suggestions, so please email me at yvettechilcott@yahoo.ca with your thoughts.
