Do you love sewing, sewing and more sewing? If so, then this curriculum has been created just for you. Spend three packed days covering scores of sewing and machine embroidery topics. Delve deep into the projects you choose and leave with the confidence and skills to create amazing beautiful things to keep for yourself and to share with the people you love.
