Summer School

classroom is full

It's our fourth week of summer school this week, and what a week it is shaping up to be! We have a full class of students learning applique & embroidery, eight new crafters escaping the summer heat with a fun pillowcase decorating project.

We have SEVEN more weeks of classes scheduled, so if your kids (ages 8-16) are looking for something to do this summer, check out our schedule: http://www.mycraftland.com/

The classes are divided into 2 categories, crafting and sewing with machines. Coming up for the crafters: felt embroidery, cross stitch, applique, knitting, and crochet. Still to come in sewing: quilted pillow, soft toys, teddy bear, lunch bag and messenger bag. Don't forget that for new sewists, we are offering a terrific sewing machine package! You get an excellent quality sewing machine, a haberdashery starter kit, and two free week-long sewing classes, all for only 1995dhs.

Come on in to the shop to see the full schedule, check out the project samples, and talk to our staff about the program.

Welcome to Summer

happy birthday, Jennifer!

Summer is here in Dubai! It's hot and humid outside, and nice and cool inside. Especially now that the repaimen have figured out our air conditioning! It's nice and cool in the shop, and finally also in the classroom! We all enjoyed some birthday cake yesterday to celebrate our Jennifer's birthday, yummy.

Our summer classes are now underway...we had a nice little group of cousins enrolled in the Town Center summer camp. They learned cross-stitch on Monday, did a scrapbooking project on Tuesday, and painted ceramics today. There are five more weeks of fun classes for ages 8+, morning and afternoon, so come to Town Center for info.

Our Craft Land classes are also going for kids, see our website for schedule and other info.

Take advantage of our fantastic SEWING MACHINE offer: for 1,995dhs, you get a new sewing machine, basic sewing supplies, and 2 weeks of classes. It's valued at around 3,000dhs if you purchase it all separately!

Check out the gorgeous felt Story Pictures, made by one of our customers, Nabila. She is a kindergarten art teacher here in Dubai, and will use these wonderful pieces to tell stories to the students.

Last but not least, have a look at Bino, trapped behind the wall of boxes that arrived this morning! We're anxious to see all the scissors, trims, elastics, etc that will emerge over the coming days...
