Notes about Skill Level:
All skill levels from absolute beginner to intermediate will find a niche at The Happy Pin. I currently have students beginning their third year in a five-year curriculum and students who first sat down in front of a sewing machine just a few months ago. Each students works independently and small class size (maximum 4 students) ensures personalized instruction and assistance when needed. Current student ages range from 8 to 40, but I have had younger and I have had older!

Mom & Me Camp
Hey Moms & Daughters - create a special memory together making matching (or not!) tote bags for those trips to the Library, keeping music books together on the way to lessons, being "green" shoppers, keeping "essentials" in one place in the car . . . or, aprons to craft together or have fun in the kitchen together!
Backpack: Choose 1/2 yard of canvas-type home dec/upholstery fabric, 1 1/2 yards of 1" wide cotton webbing, and any embellishments you want to decorate it with (ribbon, faux fur, iron-on appliques).
Apron: Buy a solid color tea towel (Ben Franklin or Quilt Shop), coordinating double-fold wide bias tape and 1/2 yd. of fabric for pockets.
Best of all . . . enjoy tea and scones for a 10:30 break!
