Quilting and Patchwork classes are now running at
Welcome to the new-look Metro Sewing Centre, Werribee Plaza
 | Phone bookings will be taken,(Tel 03 94722626) but to secure your place in the class you will need to pay a 20% deposit. See the last page for terms and conditions. |
| A class requirements list is available for all the classes. Please let us know which you are interested in, and we will give you a requirements list. |
| There are three levels of class difficulty: A, B, and C. |
| Level A classes are for beginners. Time will be taken to explain the basics. Level AA are rather easier, and the simplest of all are Level AAA, in which the basics are pretty much all that is covered! |
| Level B classes are suitable for those with a little experience, who already know the basics but who want to extend their skills. |
| Level C classes are for those with plenty of experience, who want to make a more advanced quilt. |
The classes will run in conjunction with school terms. So Term 2 classes will start the week of 10 April, and run until 15 June.
If you have any requests for classes, or if you would like to do one of the classes listed but at a different time, please let us know! We have a few gaps in the schedule that we would love to fill!
Lynn, Kathy, Leali, and Julia.
