Sewing is close to becoming a lost art. It is one of the oldest textile arts where early humans used bone needles to sew animal skins for clothing and shelter. Today, sewing can be performed by hand or with a machine.
I am happy to continue this art by teaching sewing classes, beginners to advanced, and youth to adults. The location of the classes is the Stone County Library in Mountain View, Arkansas.
A donation for each class is appreciated!
Below you find brief descriptions of what I teach and the available classes at this time. You have to enroll to attend.
