Classes at Sew Simple of Lynchburg

We've resumed some of our classes at Sew Simple. We continue to have a "Learn to Use a Sewing Machine" class almost every month due to popular demand. The Janome Embroidery Club will resume in 2024. We are also introducing a new sewing social time for wool applique, hand embroidery and other hand work.

See our calendar below for our current offerings. 

Below the calendar are 4 other ways you can learn online from Amy, sometimes with a cameo appearance from Eric, our machine tech.

Amy's Free Quilt-Alongs

You'll find Amy quilting on live video Fridays at 5:30 on the Amy Quilts - Sew Simple Facebook page. These videos are often in the form of ongoing quilt-alongs in which you can purchase the kit and follow along to learn new designs and improve your skills. It's a fun, laid back learning environment.
