Winter Spring 2012 Schedule!!!

STITCHSTITCH thread and dress form

STITCH is happy to announce it's Winter/Early Spring schedule!

Our newest instructor Carrie Martin is settling into the family! All of my students are happy to have such a caring, patient and lovely instructor! Carrie will continue to teach some of the Sewing 101 classes, and hopefully some others as well.

carrie

Carrie has been enjoying sewing since age 13 when her mother began teaching her the fundamentals of the craft.  Her hand-made creations range from everyday wear to bridal gowns.  She especially enjoys re-purposing vintage items and making alterations.  She feels immensely enriched by the ability to create with needle and thread and considers it one of her favorite art forms.

To register for classes you can download a schedule here and mail/e-mail it in or download just the registration form and mail/e-mail that to stitchnashville@yahoo.com or to the shop at STITCH Sewing School - Upstairs - 2009 Belmont Boulevard Nashville, TN 37212
