Sewing classes for homeschoolers

Passing this along from Jan Porri, the owner......

I would like to take a moment to introduce myself!! My name is Jan Porri, and I have a small sewing school located at my home in Windsor. I have been doing lessons for children from age 6 (and also adults) for a year, and have been having a great time!! I use the Kids Can Sew program based in Texas, and have been quite successful with that. Please check their website.. www.kidscansew.com   My classes run once a week for 1 hour, and are limited to a class size of 4. We use a project book developed by Caroline Curtis at Kids Can Sew, it offers 9 projects in book one, and students can continue through a series of books as they progress. I also will add other projects from time to time that are not in the book, but add other skills. I also have a book that is for boys as well.


I currently have 3 home schoolers (in addition to my other students) that have begun the program, and it has been suggested that I contact other home school groups to share my information. I have quite a bit on my web site...www.janssewingroom.com  


If you have any questions or would like to come over and visit my studio to see if this is something that your family might like to incorporate with your home schooling, I would be happy to give you a 'tour'. I recently remodeled my studio space, so we have plenty of room for all the aspects of sewing. 


I supply all the tools necessary, as well as some fabrics. All the students have to bring is the desire to learn! There is a link on my web site to my Facebook page as well, where you can see many photos of the studio, and the transformation. 


I look forward to hearing from you. I can be reached via email or by phone at 860-680-1290.
