[NFB-Krafters-Korner] question about sewing class

[Ramona]

I would be willing to teach a sewing class or two on Shursday eveningdds). I need to know what you want. Would people like a class on sewing with knitted fabric  on the machine? sewing hand knitted fieces together? using commercial pattern? Laying patterns out on the fabric? cutting? hand sewing stitches? mending? assembling a shirt? finnishing seams? or something else? I don't mind teaching just one person, but there is no need to go through all the sign up process if it is just going to be one person. You just as well phone me  with a question. I have some time the next couple of months. Thursday evening  is best for me. I am on mountain time, so it should be 6:00 pm or 8:30 pm eastern time. These classes could just be discus__ns or we could make something or cut something. I am reluctant to try to have everybody try to find the same commercial pattern, so I am thinking more of concepts. At this point I am asking for feeedback, but it takes so long to get a class posted and organized that feeedback needs to be soon! I could do some of this on Monday night chats, but I don't always know whether I can be available on a Monday. Ramona
