Basic Sewing Made
Fun & Easy
Sewing can be both an enjoyable and
practical hobby, and you can easily master
the basics in a short time. Held in the
instructor’s fully equipped home studio/
classroom in Broomfield, CO, this six-
session course teaches you everything
from machine set-up, pattern reading,
fabric selection, layout and cutting, seams,
buttonholes, zippers and even includes an
outing to the fabric store to get assistance
choosing your first fabrics. Complete
four projects in class (pillowcase, apron,
zippered pillow cover, and PJ pants) and
leave with the skills to tackle most any basic
sewing project.
Janet Schindele
has been
teaching sewing since 1999 to students of
all ages and backgrounds. Her passion for
sewing only comes second to her passion
for teaching students how to feel confident
making their own clothes, costumes, home
décor, etc. Bring your own machine if
you’d like, but studio is fully stocked with
machines, thread, pins, etc. for your use.
Students must plan to purchase fabric
during the second session, the cost of which
varies depending on personal choice.

Some Like It Hot!
Metal Artistry in One Day
Metal is the new hot
medium–literally! Here’s
your chance to feel the
power of cutting into
hard steel to create
beautiful works of metal
art. In this hands-on
class you will work with
two types of cutting
processes, an oxy/
acetylene torch and a
plasma cutter, and make
two very different pieces of metal art
without the use of welding. Finish your
pieces using a blasting cabinet, grinding
and polishing, and have the option of
coloring using an acetylene torch.
Cathy
Hiatt and Diane Larson
are working
metal artists with 20 years of experience
between them. Safety is a priority in this
class as students will work with torches
and sharp-edged metal.
