I am a sewing teacher and am offering sewing classes in my home for beginners.

Classes are opening up for a ‘Monday Mom’s’ class, starting Sept. 9th from

9:15-11:15 a.m., every other week and

running through Dec. 30th.

I teach homeschoolers, as well, and will be available to begin a class as soon as I have at least four girls committed to coming.

Classes are $15 a class, for two hours and run bi-weekly for the semester. I can teach a younger student class (8-10) as well as an intermediate class (10/11-12, depending on the girl’s ability to catch on quickly) and/or teen girls, 13-18 and even mom’s are welcome.

Currently, I have Monday afternoons, Wed. afternoons, and Friday morn/afternoons open.

Please call me @: 387-5785 for more information or to discuss a class. I would love to teach a group of girls that know one another or mom’s who want to host a class for their daughters. I live in the Balcones Heights area of town, 78228.

These classes may be used as course credit for transcript purposes as well as just for the wonderful satisfaction of learning a new skill that will be useful for life!
