2 to 4 p.m. on Sat. 29 April 2023 
Course fee: $80*

Supply needed for class:
  • Sewing machine in good working order
  • Extension cord
  • Basic sewing supplies (machine needles, pins, thread, fabric scissors, etc.)
  • Machine manual

​*​ Cancel your registration up to 14 days prior to class day by emailing [email protected] for a partial refund.

About Your Instructor:

Cynthia McGuire Thiel has been sewing since the age of three, when her involvement in her mother's sewing room evolved from taking naps under the cutting table to operating the sewing machine.  She creates custom clothing and sewing commissions from her Fargo studio.
