Adult Sewing with Jo

Learn to sew with Jo.  Start at the very beginning or if you are more advanced, pick a project to work on with the help of our wonderful teacher Jo.  No matter the level, Jo can help you learn how to sew garments.



If you are very new to sewing, Jo will have you start with a pillowcase, zippered bag and pull-on lounge pants.  If you are more advanced and need someone to help you through a more difficult technique, Jo will help you through the project.
