Took A Sewing Class!

I took a sewing class. It was one that was held at a Joann Fabric store. The store is at a mall in Middleton MA. It seems there are many Joann Fabric stores but only a few that hold classes; at least in my part of the country (which is Massachusetts).

The class started at 6:00 pm and ended at 8:30 but actually ended at 9:00 pm just before the store closed. The instructor did quite a good job. I learned a lot from her. She helped me learn about the sewing machine I bought (an inexpensive one from Walmart). I learned about using my sewing machine. I learned about the settings and how to thread the machine, and tips on using it. We made a small pillow. It was fun.

It is not big but nice and fluffy. I chose the fabric, sewed it on my sewing machine and and stuffed it with filling. It is a nice feeling seeing something that I made. 

I have been at a couple of Joann Fabrics. They are really nice stores and have a lot of fabric and items for a variety of crafts. The stores are well laid out and well stocked (at least for what I was looking for). I was able to purchase some of the items I needed for the class that I went to.

I have been to a couple of other fabric stores but they were more for curtains and furniture. They were really nice but the fabric was thicker than I needed. They were also farther than I hoped to travel. They were big with a lot of variety of fabrics.

Fabric Blowout Sale at Holiday Inn in Nashua NH

I went to a fabric blow sale at the Holiday Inn in Nashua NH. It was not big but it did have a lot of stuff for sale. I bought fabric pieces, batting, a Dr Who cloth and patterns. It was really nice. I had fun looking around. They had some really nice quilting gadgets and sewing machines. There was grab bags of batting, fabric pieces. There was patterns that were 3 for a dollar.

It was getting toward the end of the time it was open. It was open the day before and the day after.

There wasn't a lot of people there at the time but they could have come the day earlier, earlier in the day I went or planning on coming the day after I went. 

There was a lot to look at.

There was a lot of bargains and grab bags. 

I bought this Dr Who cloth. I am not sure what to do with it but I have been given ideas from my older sister and from a Facebook group called 'quilting for beginners'.
