More Than Learning to Sew

Sewing is one of those timeless life skills that has been passed from generation to generation. It teaches patience, responsibility, creativity, perseverance, and the satisfaction of creating something useful with your own hands.

Whether making gifts, repairing clothing, creating quilts, decorating a home, or one day sewing for your own family, these skills continue to bless people throughout their lives.

This class is designed to provide students with both practical instruction and encouragement as they learn step by step in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Meet Sue Thometz

Sue Thometz has spent her life serving others and investing in the next generation.

Before retirement, Sue taught Home Economics, helping students develop practical life skills that would serve them well beyond the classroom. Her passion for teaching continues today through sewing, where she patiently encourages students as they develop confidence and creativity one project at a time.

Sue also faithfully serves by leading the hospitality ministry at her church, coordinating and preparing meals for large gatherings and special events. Her servant's heart is evident in everything she does.

As a loving grandmother, Sue treasures time with her family and enjoys passing practical skills on to younger generations. She loves the Lord and views teaching as an opportunity to encourage, mentor, and invest in the lives of young people.

Her desire is not simply to teach students how to use a sewing machine—it is to equip them with lifelong skills, confidence, patience, and a love for creating things that bless others.

A Skill That Blesses Others

In today's world, practical skills are becoming increasingly rare. Learning to sew gives students the confidence to create, repair, and care for the things they own while developing patience, perseverance, and attention to detail.

More importantly, sewing teaches students that using their gifts to serve others can become a lifelong blessing. Whether creating something for a family member, helping a friend, or someday sewing for their own household, these skills continue to have lasting value.

Our hope is that every student leaves this class with more than completed projects—they leave with confidence, practical ability, and a desire to use their gifts to bless others.
