Dear Material Girl, Happy Holidays! Well, a little early this year. We always hear “you should do these classes earlier so that we can make them for holiday gifts.” Well, you have an entire month that is dedicated to fast, unique, and creative projects that make great gifts for you and everyone that is on your list. Some of the classes even make great items for those of our Material Girls that do craft shows. Holiday fabrics are making their way into the store as I write this, so you will be able to do your holiday sewing with great new holiday prints.

Thank you and Keep on Sewing,

Amy, Robin, Wendy, and Mike
