In-Person Classes
Welcome to my haven of creativity! Here, the sewing machine becomes an extension of one’s imagination, stitching together not just fabric but also a sense of accomplishment and community. Below, you will find information and registration details for my in-person sewing classes in Grand Rapids, MI.
