Several years ago when I worked in our Lewisville store, I decided that I wanted to embroider on window screening. The result of that decision was a wonderful little zipper bag. I fill it with sewing necessities and take it with me to every sewing event I attend.

 

You will find your own special purpose for this bag. More importantly, after this class you can embroider and sew your own screening project. You’ll be surprised what you can do with this fabric.

 

I know that inserting zippers doesn’t set many hearts aflutter. But I can promise a ‘no-tears’ zipper insertion this time.


We will be sewing at this class. If you own an embroidery-only machine and would like to use a store sewing machine, please let us know.

 

Looking forward to seeing you,

 

Bonnie

 

PS:      Please let us know as soon as possible if you will be attending. I need time to get the kits ready.
