If you’re looking for a creative way to personalize your home décor, look no further than your very own sewing machine. Sewing projects can go a long way to spice up your home. At Sewing Machines Etcetera in Burlington, you’ll find a wide variety of classes that can help you add pizzazz to your décor.

“We sell sewing machines, we sell notions, and we provide an amazing number of classes for all kinds of interested customers,” explains Christine Miksza of Sewing Machines Etcetera. “We can start with someone who has never sewn before, but we also take the intermediate and advanced sewer and help them improve their skills, learn new techniques and create beautiful projects.”

If you’re on a budget, enhancing your existing décor items can be an inexpensive way to add some flair. Everything from tea towels, placemats, pillows, window coverings, table runners, wall hangings, valances can be embellished with a little handy work.

For newbie sewers who are intimidated to add piping to a pillow cushion on their own, they’ll find the encouragement, inspiration and techniques needed to tackle this easy project.

“We teach the beginner sewer how to create their own piping, how to insert the piping, and finish off their project,” says Miksza.

In order to create your individual masterpiece, you have to have the right tools. For some projects, the right tool can be a basic sewing machine. Sewing Machines Etcetera sells embellishment machines, embroidery machines, and Husqvarna sewing machines. If you’re looking to accessorize your machine, you’ll also find wide variety of accessories that will allow you to increase your sewing repertoire.

“We have a number of machines that have different capabilities. A customer can start with a basic machine and learn a lot of techniques with a variety of additional accessories or the number of stitches that come with that machine,” says Miksza. For those hobbyists looking for ideas, the store sells a huge selection of patterns, magazines, books, and creative software that are sure to inspire a home décor project. “You can get very creative, from something very simple to something complex.”
