Weekly Class with Saira
Sign up for the Saira's classes here! If you are signing up for more than one day, please purchase all class days at the same time and not as individual transactions. The system will not process back-to-back same-amount transactions. Thank you! Starting in May 2023, the structure of Saira's classes will be changing. To better assist students and for Saira to give her undivided attention to teaching the class, we will be closing the shop during class hours. Due to this change, the cost of class will be $30. We hope this will result in giving students more 1-on-1 time with Saira, and be more beneficial to their stitching!
