Sewing Come take a sewing class and let us help you bring fun into your sewing. Each one of our classes requires pre-registration so call or e-mail us now to reserve your spot. Also, for each class we have a link that gives you the list of supplies that you will need to bring with you to class. Most all of our classes require you to bring a machine with you, or you can sign up in advance to use one of ours. Just ask a sales representative for help with this. If you are interested in a sewing topic that we do not have listed, we would be happy to make the class available to you. The only requirement we have for this is that we have a 3 person minimum. So, if you have a class you want to take, just find two other friends that are interested as well, and we will put the class together for you. Thank you for your interest in our classes, and happy sewing!

Due to the contracts we have with our instructors, we require 48 hours notice for cancellation of any class. If this requirement is not met, class fees will be forfeited. We reserve the right to cancel classes up to 12 hours before class time due to low enrollment. If inclement weather hits our area, we cancel classes based on Northwestern Michigan College’s schedule. If NMC closes due to weather, then our classes for that day will be cancelled as well. If we have to cancel a class due to inclement weather, we do our best to reschedule. In that situation, you will be called to see if the rescheduled date works into your schedule. If you have any questions regarding these policies, please feel free to call us for clarification.
