Jolene's Sewing School

Last week we enjoyed a wonderful Sleepover Camp - all the fun and giggles of a sleepover, without the all-nighter!

There's only a few more spots open in camps for the summer, but one of them is such a fun one. If you're hoping to improve your sewing skills and make some adorable and useful projects, consider joining me for Pillow Camp at the end of the summer! In this fun camp we will make a bird pillow, a flower pillow, and a patchwork pillow to practice lots of different sewing skills.

Come visit me at the Happy Valley Farmer's Market!

My granddaughter decided to start her own business this year. She loves animals and she has watched me in the sewing room for many years. So, she decided to do custom leashes and collars!

We were thrilled to find out that we just got accepted to the Happy Valley Farmers Market and will have our first booth this Saturday!

I’m making pet bandannas and dog walking purses to sell alongside her. We also have pet treats and dog & cat toys for sale! They are adorable and affordable, if I do say so myself!

Spread the word and come say hi this Saturday!

DON'T MISS OUT! I close registrations for camps a few days before they begin, to give me enough time to prepare all the fabric and fun! That means that there are FOUR camps coming up on the last week of June, and I don't want you to miss out on registering for them!

Choose from hedgehogs, Hello Kitty, elephants or sewing spaces! Each of them has only a few sptos left, so I recommend you sign up soon!

How do you say "croissant pillow" in French? 🥐😋😍

For the first time ever, I'm offering "Paris Ooh La La" camp, and I can't wait to make these adorable projects with you. For starters, we'll sew a French beret and matching striped t-shirt, which is going to be way easier than it sounds!

But the icing on the cake is definitely the croissant pillow! I first learned about this delightful trend from a student and every time I see one, it makes my mouth water!

Want one of your own? I've got three "Paris" camps this summer. One of them is full, one of them has only one spot left, and the other has four spots open. Claim one of yours here before they're gone!
