I’m so excited to share these pictures with you of our very first class with Seattle Farm School that is taking place at C&P Coffee right now!!

In a little over 2 months we have gone from concept to live classes right here in West Seattle! We are thrilled to teach sustainable living skills to our community! This is a sold-out Beginning Crochet Class with Kelli Thomas.

Katie says two Beginning Sewing classes are ahead this week (“Comfy Lounge Pants” and “Pillowcases”) as well as a class in soapmaking. More info at seattlefarmschool.com.

It was a great class, lots of fun and now I know how to crochet! Just in time for winter. Thanks Kelli and Katie – can’t wait to take some more classes!

Fun!! Will you guys be teaching a beginners class again? I’ve been wanting to learn how to crochet.

So fun! And C&P was a great place for a class. Our awesome teacher gave us little crochet starter kits, and I’ve already made a coaster. Do yourself a favor and take a class and support this wonderful idea!

Hi! Coffee – the snail mail address is my web designers address we used until a PO Box here in the junction opened up for us, and I was just able to get one last week so it’s being updated! I didn’t want our home address broadcast to the world. :) Thanks for understanding!

Thank you bsmomma!! I love teaching those kids – they are so great!

Westgirl – we will definitely have more beginning crochet classes – starting back up after the new year. Stay tuned!

Thank you for coming Michelle & Jennifer!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
