Description Are you looking for camaraderie while sewing? Motivation to finish a project? Do you need a large cutting area or surface to work on for projects that are extra large? At Open Sewing Sessions, you work on what you need to get finished, from the beginning of the project to the end. Jenni will be present each evening, not to teach a specific project but to be working on her own projects. We know that sewists are the nicest people and we're sure someone present will offer suggestions for problem areas you may be struggling with. Join us for an unstructured evening of fun and community. Remember that there is no food in the Studio. Just water with a lid. Please eat before coming to Sit and Sew. Students need to bring their own sewing machine in good working order. Session Fee: $15.00 Coordinator: Jenni or Amy Jones To register for this class, stop by or Call the store (919 782 2945).
