We are so excited about our 2017 Clubs and Classes at Sassy Stitches!
For me, this shop has always been a place to fellowship with quilting and sewing friends. It's a place where you are greeted when you enter and taken care of while you're here. We want you to come SEW! It's fun to hear about the new fabric and notions that come in. We will still share that with you. But we want to focus on sewing and working towards completing projects. The only requirement is that you have FUN!! So come join us for some fun and sewing. It wouldn't be the same without YOU!!!

P.S.All club registration will be CLOSED at the end of the day on Thursday, December 15th (except for Beginner Quilting). We will need all of the numbers by then to order supplies for the clubs. THANKS!

Grids Girls Tool Time
Did you join the rest of us and buy lots of really cool Creative Grids rulers/tools? Have you taken these cool tools home only to forget how to use them? Do you need a refresher class on how to use the rulers you bought? This class is for you. Each month, January through July, will be dedicated to one Creative Grids ruler. You get to pick a pattern from a book, a single pattern, or a CLP (Cut Loose Press) pattern to make. You will use fabrics of your own choosing and come to class prepared to work on your chosen project while you review that month's ruler. Bring your tool if you already have one and if you don't, come try one out before you purchase it. You will have all the assistance you need to review how to use the ruler and will also have the chance to start sewing your project together. We will use the following schedule for the Ruler Review Club.
January: Curvy Log Cabin
February: Strippy Stars
March: Log Cabin
April: Scrap Crazy
May: Straight Out of Line

Come sew, snack, laugh, and enjoy yourself with friends and meet new ones. Here is the "Sit and Sew" schedule for the first 6 months of 2017.

Every THIRD TUESDAY of the month from 10 - 3.

The goal this year is MORE SEWING! Instead of popping in, getting your pattern and a commercial of what's new, let's gather and sew and fellowship. Most clubs/classes are scheduled for 2 or 3 hours. If nothing else is scheduled for the day, students/customers may stay and sew until 3:30. Your instructor will have to return to the floor to help other customers at the end of the class but you are welcomed to stay and sew a little more on your own.
Instructions, supply lists, and other information will be sent to you via email. You may also come by the shop to pick up your information. All club information will be available beginning Dec. 15, 2016. Dec. 15th is also the last day to sign up for clubs. We have to get everything totaled up and ordered.
All club members will receive one 10% off coupon for club supplies. Each club must have at least 3 members for the club to begin. If 2 or fewer people sign up for a club it will be cancelled and we will call you. In that case, you choose whether you want a refund or shop credit. Shop credit will be issued in the form of a certificate which you can redeem for shop merchandise.
CLASS POLICIES
1)
Class/Club Fee is due at registration. You may register in person or by phone with a credit card.
2)
Most of the classes and clubs have a 3 person minimum. In some cases, when a class requires a lot of prep work, we will have the class with fewer people. If we cancel the class, we will either refund your money or issue a store credit. If you cancel, you will receive store credit.
3)
Out of respect for other class members and our staff, the following are NOT allowed at class:

6)
We are happy to provide extra rulers and other tools for you to borrow while in a class or club. Due to losing several items lately, we will ask you for your keys in exchange for borrowing a tool. It's so easy to put an item in your bag of stuff when you are packing up so this will prevent this problem and allow us to continue sharing.
