5. Does SEWcial Time make Memory Bears, Memory Quilts, T-shirt Quilts and other products for people who do not want to learn to Sew for themselves? SEWcial Time is dedicated to teaching people how to sew their own cherished projects and enjoy the fellowship of sewing together. However, we understand that some people have no interest in sewing but want to have these types of cherished keepsakes. So we'd like to refer you to Elisabeth's Quilted Keepsakes where two sisters, Jessica Osborne (918-424-8754) and Emily Shannon (918-424-8864), make these precious products for other people. These young ladies have grown up sewing and quilting, so they have a wealth of experience. https://www.facebook.com/eqkeepsakes
6. How old do you have to be for the classes? The calendar with course details will have required ages for each course as well. The hope is to provide classes for children, teens, and adults. However, due to safety concerns and the complexity of some projects, some may not be suited for younger children. Plans are in the works for a parent/child course that will actually teach young children at the same time as their parent so they can be present to ensure the child's safety AND enjoy learning together.
7. How much do the classes cost? Teachers will be traveling from various areas and setting their own prices which will compensate them for their time, expertise, and travel expenses. The teachers will keep 100% of their fees and costs will vary depending on these factors. However, the cost of each course will be listed with the other details about the courses on the calendar or classes webpages.
8. Will SEWcial Time be selling crochet products, clothing fabrics and notions, cross-stitch products, or other types of crafting products or classes? At this time, SEWcial Time will be limited to Quilting supplies, fabrics, patterns, books and notions. However, with enough community interest and as the business grows, the goal is to accommodate additional types of sewing and crafts. In the meantime, all sewing and needle work enthusiasts are welcome to be a part of SEWcial Time (open sewing) where each person is working on their own individual projects, but doing so together for the fellowship and joy of time together.
