As sewing has moved away from being a household necessity to produce and mend clothing, sewing has evolved into a form of creative expression — a relaxing leisure activity. Fueled by social media platforms such as Pinterest and Instagram and online sewing tutorials, many find they need to buy a new machine or the right machine for their latest projects. Join the Sewing Machine Mart Classes to learn new skills such as designing and sewing custom garments, embroidering garments, accessories, home decorations, and quilting. Some will start successful home-based businesses using these creative skills. 

We send our class schedule out every quarter showing the classes that will be offered.  We will also send out a sign up email 2 weeks before each class.  Spots are limited so be sure to sign up quickly when they are posted.  Please contact us if you are not currently on our email list and we will be glad to add you.  Below is a current list of our upcoming classes.
