Classes
I offer classes in smocking, embroidery, heirloom sewing, and silk ribbon embroidery. All class fees include materials unless kit fees are noted. Classes change monthly so check to see if there is something you’re interested in. I will always try to accommodate customers if they are asking for a certain class or a technique they would like to learn.
Please pre-register for classes by calling 513-229-7340 so all your supplies will be ready for you. Payment can be made the day of the class.

Barnyard Friends: This cute little outfit was posted on Facebook by Laura Kinnison in 2020. One of my customers brought it to my attention and wanted to do it as a class. So here it is. Using the pattern Paisley from Bonnie Blue we will be using giant rickrack over a contrasting lime green scalloped border. The chicks are embroidered onto the rickrack as shown. There are either short pants or capri length pants made from the contrasting fabric. Such a cute idea. The top can be sleeveless or with cap sleeves and a collar. Your choice.
