Saturday Morning Sewing School Videos 2022

Hi everyone just a gentle reminder to let you know the subscription to ALL CLUB pages will be closing shortly!

We offered you a temporary free plan once the club had closed, so you could still view these pages for a limited time.

Unfortunately, the time has now come to delete these pages completely. This is due to reoccurring cost’s, management fees and outdated content.

Thank you for being there on the first part of The Terry Fox adventure. Especially as this was through such tough times during covid.

But now it really is time to move on. We really hope you continue on this incredible adventure with us. There are so many new and exciting times ahead.

Thank you and very best wishes!

Terry and Christine
