When my husband, Josh, and I started on this endeavor of owning our own business we looked at all the angles we could go.  Starting in-home and really small was our first instinct, moving on to world domination in about 5-7 years.  Just kidding.  Kinda.  We decided to market to family and friends, do a “soft launch” with one or two classes a month.

And then I taught my first three classes and it hit me.  I remember the moment so clearly;  I was helping an 8 year old even out her stitches and finish a seam and I had this overwhelming sense of “I LOVE SEWING.  AND TEACHING.  AND NOW I’M TEACHING SEWING AND IT’S THE BEST THING EVER!!!”  The biggest problem is that most of the general population that I’m marketing to is only available on the weekends.  We are also a busy weekend family, and there’s the rub.  Do I go full tilt and eat up every weekend teaching classes?  Shoot for weekday mornings and hope for the best?  We’ve decided to do a little bit of both.

So all that to say, I’m posting all of my January classes on my Sara Says Sew Facebook page!  Check them out and sign up to sew!

I will also be hosting my first Studio Hours.  It’s a drop-in, no registration required few hours in the morning.  There is a fee of $15/ hr, you’re welcome to stay as little or as long as you’d like.  If you’re stuck on a project, I’d love to help!  Or if you just want to sew something, I have kits available to purchase on top of the hourly fee.

Come and try a class!  Come and make something great or not, just try.

P.S.  After I took the picture of the bananas, they were still sitting on the table and my 4 year-old son was so excited about bananas he ate two.
