Sewing Escape Retreat at Londa's Sunroom Sewing Studio
Sewing Escape Retreat at Londa's Sunroom Sewing Studio
My safe, spacious, fully-equipped and sunny Sewing Studio in the rolling hills of western TN, (along with my expertise) is waiting for you! Whether you are a brand new sewing student, or a seasoned sewer looking for a weekend dedicated to sewing, this is designed for YOU.
I offer over 50 years of professional sewing experience and education to guide you to learn to LOVE TO SEW! Centrally located between Nashville and Memphis on I-40, you and a friend could meet here for a few days of FUN!
Escape for 12 hours of learning and fun for $595 per person. We can distribute those 12 hours as you desire over 2 to 3 days - planned in advance.
My Sunroom Sewing Studio is 20' x 30', filled with notions you'll need, and sewing tools....I even have a fabric stash I'm happy to share with you at nominal pricing. You'll even enjoy the view out my studio windows of my flower garden and sunflower fence mural.
You can bring your own machine/serger or I'm happy to let you use mine free of charge. I even have Sewing Stations fully stocked with every sewing notion/tool you might require. My favorite notions and interfacing are right here in the studio ready for sale as needed, and with 1 fine quilt shop, plus JoAnn Fabrics and Hobby Lobby within a 10' ride, we should have everything at our fingertips that you might need.
There is even a very reasonably priced Clarion Inn & Suites just minutes from my home. Food? There are many great choices close by. There's even a sink and frig IN the Studio, and my kitchen just steps away.
If booked as a party of 2: Receive a 15% total credit to be used in garments/merchandise/notions purchased in the Studio to split/share as you and your friend desire.
Below I've described some possible areas as suggestions for the type of sewing which I could help you master/complete.
* Fitting and alterations - love to sew, but can't seem to make it fit?? I promise - we can solve your issues!
* Sewed a LONG time ago, but want to get 'back into it'? Ahhh - I promise to make you LOVE all the new techniques and to introduce you to the very best in sewing notions.
* Don't have a sewing machine or need to upgrade? Test out features on machines in the Studio. As a past machine dealer - I can help you select the very best machine/serger to meet your needs. Heck...we can even go shopping here at the stores representing all brands, or I can help you shop online.
* Ready to learn NEW TECHNIQUES? I make it my job to keep up with the newest and greatest, so along with my own library of skills, I promise you'll go home armed to sew and love it!
* Learn ANY genre of sewing: Garment, up-cycle sewieng (my FAVORITE!) quilting, crafting, home decorating...I've done it all. Though quilting is not my 'love', I know and have taught the basics. Garment sewing is my passion, and I've done more than my share of crafting and home dec sewing too. NO matter what level you are at: Beginner to Advanced - I am confident that I can teach you what you want to learn.
* GIFT Sewing! I have oodles of great gift sewing projects already figured out as creating gifts has been a focus of my kids sewing classes for many years. My files (physical and digital) are overflowing with ideas! Come for a few days and you can cross off lots of names on your Gift List this year - I promise!
* UP-Cycle Sewing! Have some garments hanging in your closet that need a new lease on life? Perhaps some garments that belonged to loved ones who have passed on? Up-Cycle sewing is my true passion, and I'd LOVE to help you come to master and love the skill as well! Heck - I even have tubs and tubs of 'fabric' waiting for up-cycle sewing, and there's even 4 Thrift/Goodwill stores within 15' of my home for 'shopping'.
* Pass It On...I love to teach KIDS too! How about scheduling an Escape Weekend with your daughter/granddaughter/niece? I've even taught BOYS - so don't be 'sexist' about this idea! I generally feel that kids are ready to start sewing at age 6 by hand, and do well at the sewing machine when they are 9-10, but have had even 7-year-olds at the machine with great success. I've got the patience - I promise! Watch me teach your little one to pick up some techniques for carrying on with passing on needlework skills once you go home. The 'experience' alone would be a great gift!
To 'order', please first call me at 217-369-4687 to discuss scheduling and topic. I handle quite a nice selection of notions/interfacing that you might need/want to purchase while you are in the Studio.
