   val- All Calico Corners here in FLA have classes, as do Hannafords. (Central FLA for sure) I know I was having trouble with a collar once, brought it to Calico Corners and had employees AND customers helping me with it- we had a good laugh.

   Hi val...I looked in my PACC book to see if there were any instructors for Florida and found a few. One is in Fort Lauderdale.

   Another is in Marianna. I knew of one in Naples, but she died just this past year of a car accident. I emailed her all the time and when she died I was very sad. She had a young child and husband. That was so tragic.

   The web page for the PACC referral is

   http://www.paccprofessionals.org

   Also HSA has a referral too for teachers of beginning sewing.

   Their web page is sewing.org. I'll go there now and see what is

   for Florida and write back in another post if I can find anything.

   Hi again I copied and pasted off the Pati Palmer's site, too.

   http://www.palmerpletsch.com These are CSI, certified sewing instructors. They know the ins and outs of pattern fitting by the tissue drape method as well as beginning sewing.
