learn how to sew, knit, & crochet

Our goal is to help you learn sewing techniques and improve your skills. Classes in sewing basics, knitting, crochet, are held in a group or in a one-on-one session. I am willing to do a day class for 10 students within 100 miles of Bismarck. Evening classes are held during the week. Class size is held to 6 students to allow for plenty of one-on-one time during the class. It is my desire to keep these crafts alive.

how to register for a class

To sign up for a class click the "Register for a Class" button below. This will take you to a class registration form that you fill out and submit. After we get your registration we will follow up with details on the training.

Classes are open to youth and adult. Any student younger than 10 must have a parent or adult remain during class time. Efforts will be made to accommodate class time changes within reason.

Classes are held at my home, 1904 Pacific Lane, Bismarck, ND. Feel free to stop by and visit us at one of the craft events we attend.
