Important Things to Know Before
Registering!!!
- All
students are
required to sign the student agreement before attending any classes of
the Aprilenchanted Design Studio.
- Kids Camp
Registrants MUST have a signed copy of the Emergency Release
Form prior to beginning classes! No child may be left on
premises without this.
- All students
*should* have their own sewing machine, in good working order, to bring
to
each class. This helps you to learn about using your own sewing
machine, as each machine is slightly different. However, I now have a
few machines available in-house for student use which require
pre-scheduling. Students must also
bring their own sewing kit and supplies for their project unless
otherwise indicated.
- Pre-payment is required to secure your
registration into any class.
No seats will be held for unpaid students.

Tuesday
Night Couture Café!
Come
to the Sewing Lounge and get help with your project!
Many
people get started on their first sewing project and then stop because
it is too complicated or they simply don't understand the rules of
sewing. If you have unfinished projects lying around and need
some good information to get them finished then this is the session for
you. If you have one, bring your sewing machine, sewing kit and your
unfinished project and I will help you to get it completed.
There are a few machines available in house for your use, as well!
Pre-registration required as I have limited space.
Tuesdays,
6-9pm
Ongoing Through 2010!
