Sew Can You!
Instructor: Norma Gonyea
Norma has been teaching this popular class for over 25 years! Norma originally learned to sew by watching her mother, who made all of her clothes by hand. As she grew, she learned how to make her own clothing creations. She is also a natural home decorator who loves to create “picture perfect” rooms – sewing drapes, curtains, bedspreads, pillows, etc. In her house, if it is made of fabric, she probably made it herself. Norma specializes in making things simple in ways that are easy for everyone.
