March*SPECIAL GUEST: JESSICA from SEW MANY CREATIONS Sew Many Creations began as a custom bag business in 2007. In 2011, the company developed into a bag pattern business geared towards quilters. After much frustration with the bag & accessory patterns that were available (mostly written for seamstresses), I decided to create a line of easy to make, beginner friendly patterns that quilters could understand. They use the same tools and language that quilters use. You may know Jessica for her best selling “Diva Wallet” pattern!EAST AURORAThursday, March 8th 10:00 am – 1:00 pm , 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm – 9:00 pmWILLIAMSVILLEFriday, March 9th, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm , 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm – 9:00 pmHANDS ON CLASS SATURDAY, MARCH 10TH, more info to follow
