It can all begin one Saturday CRAFTernoon…

Published on February 2, 2010 in Classes, Clubs & groups, Events and Schedule. 0 Comments

We’ve had a lot of demand lately for a monthly class where kids and teens to get together and get crafty… so here you go!

Starting in February, we’ll be holding Saturday CRAFTernoon on the second Saturday of each month. The class will be held from 1 – 4pm and will be open to students ages 8 – 14. The class fee is $45 and will include a kit for that month’s class. Some of our projects will be french-seamed tote bags, pencil pouches/ cosmetic bags, binder covers, fabric cuff bracelets, softies, and MUCH more!

This is one of our younger seamsters. She is very gifted and we love having her and her sisters at Stitch! When customers stop in to see what’s new and they see such a young sewer they are always surprised. With one on one or small group classes, it’s amazing what these kids can do! It’s inspiring to see them leave with their finished products. Elizabeth has made a skirt, pajama pants, a tote bag, and an applique wall hanging during her lessons at Stitch Cleveland. On her own, she has experimented with her sewing machine and made many other fun projects! Keep it up, Elizabeth, you inspire us!

We are really excited to offer these classes and even more excited that there has been a demand for them. How great that sewing is making a huge comeback for our kids. Someday as they start sewing businesses, or go to fashion school, or stitch someone up on an operating table they will think fondly of how it all started… one Saturday CRAFTernoon!

…we will all look back on this and laugh. Well, day two and we are still digging ourselves out. Looks like Stitch Cleveland is having another snow day. Poor Shannon is stuck in Boston after her Stitch ‘n Beach cruise with Debbie Stoller. I can hear all of your sympathetic groans now!

New schedule & pricing

You asked for it, you got it! We’re standardizing our private lesson prices across the board and offering more of them. Unless otherwise stated, all private lessons with each of our three instructors are $25 as of 1 September 2008. Private knitting lesson with Shannon? $25. Two-hour class with Megan? $50! Three and half hours of hands-on help from Heidi? Well… you can do the math. Kit fees, if any, are not included in the hourly instructor fee.

What does this mean for the printed schedule? We’re redesigning it so it makes more sense in light of the new prices, and it will be available online as a PDF soon. Meanwhile, feel free to call the shop and ask about any class — we’ll happily get you signed up!

Yarn Masters of the Silver Hook — a division of Crocheters Anonymous

So here I am mid-meeting and I felt like I had to write a message to our adoring public to tell them what they’re missing. The men and women in this group are getting down and dirty with hook and yarn in hand! Don’t worry, even if you miss tonight’s meeting (scheduled for 6-9pm) your crochet addiction is not hopeless… join us here at Stitch Cleveland on the first Thursday of each month for an evening of advice, conversation, and only a little bit of bragging about all of our projects. To be a member of this group you need not have a serious crochet addiction (although most of our members have confessed to having at least ten unfinished projects). We can help even the novice or beginner crocheter make their hobby into a hard core addiction.
