My name is Diana (Kitty is a nick name a friend gave me). I live in hot and sunny Florida, work as a graduate assistant,  go to grad school (working on my Masters in Library Science) and knit, sew and craft in my free time (and then some). I dream of one day being a librarian while creating my crafting empire :) 2008-01-11-at-09-54-38-3.jpg

Hi! I found your blog while browsing for sewing/craft stores. I’m trying to find somewhere to take some lessons.. sewing/sewing machine, etc. I found fiberologie, which looks amazing, but JUST missed their class by a few days. Was wondering if you knew of any other great places for a college student to learn in the st. pete/tampa area. Thanks a million!

Hi Ashley!
I’ve never actually taken sewing lessons, so I can’t be considered an authority. Fiberologie would be one of my first recommendations, because they’re independent rather than a chain. Joann’s Etc (Citrus Park and Brandon) has some sewing classes, though they can be a bit pricey. I believe that Hancock Fabrics has classes as well. Other than that, there are a lot of small, independent sewing stores around Tampa and St Pete, so try looking in the Yellow Pages for them and give a few a call. Some of them probably have good classes. Other than that, the library often has good sewing books.
