There is never just one time of the year to sew. Many sew more in the cold wet months, but it is something that can be done all year. Many sewers start their Christmas projects in July hence why we often do a Christmas in July event. If you have a big project or several to do for Christmas you need to start them early in order to get them done in time. We have our Christmas fabric scheduled already to arrive in July so you can get started. Have a trip planned? Need a swimsuit cover up or a comfortable maxi dress for your trip? Come and see what we have to offer you with fashionable printed knits that would be perfect for a cover-up, maxi dress, t-shirt and sew much more. Need some help sewing one of these items? Sign up for one of the Sundrop Sewing Workshops. We offer workshops on Tuesdays both in the morning and evening. You can work at your own pace and the instructor is there to help you if needed. This is a very social sewing class so come and join the fun!! We have some great new printed polyester fabrics that would make perfect cushion covers, bags, placemats etc. We are always bringing in new fabrics so be sure to drop in and see what we have in store. Thinking about a new machine? It is a perfect time to purchase your next machine, both Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff have a flyer out in May and that means great savings for you!! We will email the flyer in May and you will find it posted on our website at www.sundroptextiles.com We love to hear from you, if you have ideas and/or requests just drop us an email or post it on our Facebook page and we will take a look at it. April is in the process of developing a series of quilt classes that will teach you some of the basics and beyond. It will be something you can follow from the first block or jump in when the technique appeals to you. This series will start in our fall newsletter, we are very excited about it. It will be a fun journey, watch for more details coming soon!!

Sew let your creativity grow at Sundrop. Happy Sewing, look forward to seeing you in the store - Della.

DAYTIME SEWING WORKSHOP- All Skill Levels Welcome We have had a request for a daytime sewing workshop for those that can’t make the regular evening sewing workshop.

Sew Along With Me Series We are starting a new style of class where you sew along with the instructor. We will choose a project like a Jalie pattern and the instructor will sew along with you so we are all doing the same thing together and that way no one gets lost or feels left behind. It will be a fun way to sew and then when the instructor has a great tip to make a step easier then everyone will be in the same place to see it first hand. We will change the set up of the classroom for this class so it will be more intimate. We will be sending out project dates and information in emails and on Facebook.

We have more classes coming. Keep a look out for emails and Facebook updates to find out more about these and other events!!
