Summer Camp season is now a memory. The warm days were filled with pattern pieces, fabric scraps, and imaginations filled with potential designs! It was so fulfilling to see the projects come to life over a period of a week and the proud campers who relished in their achievements. As we march into a new school year, I am posting the Fall schedule for after-school classes. "Jenny-from-the-block" will be back in the studio to assist me with classes, so if you are interested in securing a spot in the class, please do quickly as space is limited.
