{Sewing Class Basics #3 ~ Appliqué Pillow Cover OR Simple Tote Bag}

For our third sewing class we are going to learn how to Applique`
(If you would like to make something other than the Halloween projects you can do another fun applique` such as: flowers, a horse, a rainbow & clouds,  or scissors. These will still be done on a pillow cover or simple tote bag.)

*When: Saturday, September 22nd from 1-4 pm or 5-9 pm. These are the same classes. I’m simply offering them at two different times. So you choose which time you’d like to attend. 

*Where: In my sewing studio (Lindsay & Baseline)

I'll send you the address after you sign up & pay!

*Cost: $15. 

*To sign up, visit my facebook event page here:  Applique` Sewing Class

OR

*Email your name and "Applique` Sewing Class" to me at simplestitchesaz at yahoo.com.

Please let me know which project you want to make. I will send you an invoice through Paypal to pay for the class. You don't have to have a Paypal account to pay through them, just a credit card. Class size is limited so sign up ASAP to reserve your spot. 

*Feel free to share this with a friend if you know someone that is local (Gilbert/Mesa area) that may be interested. If you can't make this day and time but would like to sign up, let me know and I can create another class if I have enough interest.

*You can choose between making One Applique` Pillow Cover OR one Simple Applique` Tote Bag. If you'd like to make both projects or more than one of the same project, you can sign up for both class time slots and make one in each.
