Introducing Pamela Leggett
The Philadelphia workshops will be taught by Palmer/Pletsch Certified Sewing Instructor Pamela Leggett, who has been teaching Palmer/Pletsch Fit and Pant Fit classes for 13 years. The four-day workshops will be held at Steve’s Sewing, Vacuum and Quilting, a beautiful new store near the King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia, PA. The state of the art store, owned by Steve Chubin, has four classrooms, one of which is currently being used by Pamela for all of her local classes, a kitchen featuring Meile appliances, Baby Lock, Bernina and Janome sewing machines, notions, patterns and thousands of bolts of fabric.

Join us for our four- and
five-day workshops in
Portland, Oregon
or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Hundreds of students from around the world have attended our sewing vacations. You’ll share camaraderie with other sewers from all walks of life—from surgeons to CEOs to fabric store owners, homemakers, dressmakers, attorneys, farmers, and teachers.

You will be guided by the qualified Palmer/Pletsch teaching team. You’ll learn not only the easiest way to perform a task, but the best way. When there is more than one BEST way, you will be offered choices. Select the best way for YOU. We have been teaching sewing for over 35 years, focusing on quality garments sewn with limited time. We have worked with and influenced pattern companies, bringing our message to you along with our books and DVDs in the broadest way. We want to PERSONALLY share our knowledge with you in these workshops. AND, we learn from you as well—hopefully making us better teachers. 

For more information about each topic, click on the workshop title, left and right. To register for workshops and optional programs, click on one of the turquoise "READY TO REGISTER" buttons.
