Join Marsha McClintock & Janet Pray in NYC
Once a year Islander Sewing Systems and American Sewing Expo come together with Marsha McClintock of Sew Many Option Tours to create the fashion sewing vacation of a lifetime in NYC!
We only take 20 people so the experience is intimate and rewarding. We visit iconic locations like Rockefeller Center as we take you on a half day guided bus tour of the city. You will experience: visits to well known fashion designer's workrooms, a private docent tour of vintage designer garments at FIT, a popular Broadway Play, museum exhibits of fashion, shopping at leather stores, trim shops, and a plethora of fabric stores and an evening dinner cruise around the island of Manhattan and many surprises.

| April 1 - 4, 2013 Certification Class
|
The annual workshop and certification class is one of our favorite events. The class size is limited and in a relaxed setting.
Join us for three days of professional techniques and an optional fourth day for those wishing to become a certified Islander Sewing Systems instructor. Two optional field trips are also available: to a better fabric store and a "snoop shopping" trip.
The first day and half will consist of making samples from a provided pre-cut kit of the basic Islander Sewing Systems techniques (learning to sew without pins). The next day and half you will construct a man's shirt from the provided pattern. By making this shirt you will learn even more industrial techniques and take home a lovely shirt as well.
For those wishing to certify, the fourth day will be a short day with a lecture and Q&A on teaching sewing as a business.
More information and details are available on the website or call us at: 248-889-5091.
