Welcome sewing enthusiasts and newbees!
                                                                Sunny's Threads & Things of Charlotte, NC

    Sunny's Threads & Things Sewing Academy is a place to learn the wonderful life skill of using fabric, thread, and embellishments to decorate your world in a way that makes you happy.  Whether you want to sew apparel or home decor from scratch or just alter store bought to suit yourself; sewing lessons are invaluable for learning the skill sets to do it all! 
    In recent years the art of sewing has taken a back seat in the public education arena.  At the same time, we are more and more individual in our tastes and styles.  Sewing can free us to create a piece of the world that reflects our own flavor and preferences: Simple or complicated, plain or glitzy!
    There is research that shows the benefit of sewing and crafting being stress reducers for those looking to temporarily escape the fast-paced whirl of our daily lives and have a lasting sense of accomplishment.
