Sewing at Garden Grove United Methodist Church/Hispanic Ministries

Such fun today! Today I, along with Pastor Carrie Cesar, taught five ladies how to sew. The ladies were part of the Hispanic Ministry at  Garden Grove United Methodist Church in Garden Grove, California.
Look at what we made! The ladies loved their aprons, and I loved teaching them how to sew.
Does your church have a ministry would like to learn how to sew? You can email me at
sewing@businessbrandings.com.

Registration Process for Sew Simple/Fashion Design/Textile Arts Workshops/Business Brandings

Dear Leader/Adult,

I would love to have your girls at Sew Simple, Fashion Design, or Textile Arts. These are very popular programs, and they fill up very fast. The registration process is designed to be fair to all girls and troops.

To save your spot at a workshop, it is best to check this blog for available space, or, and call, or email, me first.  

To register, please send me your troop information and

the full fee ($35 per girl) for the workshop. These workshops are very popular, so, to be fair to all troops, and girls, it is first come, first serve. When the check arrives to me, I am happy to reserve your space. You can mail it, or, bring it to me in Orange. (call first!)

Please send one check made out to Business Brandings.

NOTE: To be fair to all girls and troops, there are no refunds, no make ups, and no date changes, no exceptions. 

Please arrive at the workshop ontime, as we begin ontime. When you arrive at the workshop, please have the leader have a signed permission slip and a health history form for each girl that attends. Please be on time to pick up girls after the workshop is over.

Also, please have the girls bring a light snack (granola bars work very well) and a drink (bottled water is preferred) We are very busy sewing, so the snack break is short.

Also,  for troops, I ask that one female adult volunteer, that has been cleared with a GS background check (such as a leader) through GS, as a leader, stay with the girls and help during the workshop, but no sewing skills are necessary. For individual girls, it is not necessary to bring an adult leader.

No tag-a-longs. 

These are great workshops, providing the girls a chance to demonstrate leadership and learn to sew and to learn about textiles. I am delighted that you are bringing your girls. Please fell free to call with questions. (714) 914-0381.
