Why you should take Sewing Classes


Friendly Stitches Class Members Learn to Sew

They say that in order to stay young you should learn something new every day. While you might think of sewing as something your grandma did to occupy her time, sewing is not a lost art and younger generations and both genders are finding value in this time-honored skill. Friendly Stitches proudly offers several classes for projects you can be proud of. The only rule is to be considerate and respectful of others! Here are some compelling reasons to consider for signing up. 

Fuel your Creative Outlet
While you might think of painting, photography, or writing as main creative outlets, sewing is becoming a new modern trend of an old pastime. Sewing not only allows you to create unique one-of-a-kind pieces, but it’s a skill not many can tackle. Sewing can actually be useful around the house, and even save you money. Friendly Stitches offers classes to create trendy and beautiful kimono’s, cork purses, weekender bags, and more. These classes are popular for a reason, there is something for everyone, they are cost-effective and FUN!

Social Outlet
There is a lot to be said about joining a group of like-minded people. Whether you join a book club, an exercise class, or garden club, your motivation is usually to gather with people who share similar interests. Sewing classes can bring people together, sharing ideas, techniques, and learning together while acquiring skills. Those interested in efforts can even combine their two passions with the Case for Smiles class. In this FREE class, you will sew pillowcases for hospitalized children. How’s that for a “feel-good” cause? 

It’s Easy Being Green
If you are concerned about the environment, taking a sewing class might be your contribution to the world. While it might not be the first thing that pops into your head when you think of your footprint on the world it does make a difference. How? Well, sewing allows you to repurpose almost anything to create something new, need new curtains, pillowcases, a purse, a new bag, even a dress? Think about how much money you could save if you made these items yourself. Almost any type of fabric can be cut and repurposed into something else.
