The Sloper Draft
Instructor: Mary MacGillis
The Fabric Corner is proud to announce the establishment of The Institute of Sewing
Arts.
 The Institute is responsible for teaching the life skill of sewing at all levels and
areas including pattern drafting, fabric manipulation, textiles, sewing and tailoring.  
The Institute is open to teens and adults.  Classes are offered as extended courses
at an affordable rate.  Each course will list the requirements.

If you are interested in extending your sewing skills without the pressure and
expense of advanced educational services, this program is for you.  Learning to sew
for yourself, your family and for others can help save money.  If you have been
disappointed in today's fashions, designing and sewing your own clothing can give
you great satisfaction.

As part of the Institute of Sewing Arts, we are committed to passing on the
knowledge and art of sewing.  Our classes are curriculum based with standards and
practices adopted universally by all of our instructors.  When you sign up for a class,
you can be assured that no matter what the class is, the same foundational skills
will be emphasized.

Each class emphasizes 2-3 skills or techniques to help you develop your sewing. No
matter where you are in your sewing journey, we will be there to help you along.

Sincerely,
Nadyne
