With most of us staying home over the next few weeks practicing some social distancing, I thought I’d bring the sewing classes to you . You can find my Social Distancing Sewing Classes on Facebook at the link below. These are beginner classes, and they do build on each other, but you can jump in at any time and catch up.

Here’s the plan: around 11 am (CST) each day next week, I’ll bring you a short sewing lesson. I’m planning on these running for at least a week.

You won’t need much to get started, just your sewing machine and any of the goodies it came with. I will be posting a basic supply list in the next few hours. I will have supply kits to offer you that can be mailed USPS Priority tomorrow (or dropped off in Shreveport. I’ll leave them by your front door to avoid extra germs.) You are also welcome to grab your supplies on your own. You’ll need these items by Thursday.

To join in these sewing classes on Facebook, please join the NNB Sewing Class FB group.

Tuesday, March 17 Winding Bobbins, Threading Your Machine, and Selecting Needles/Fabrics
