Just took a Beginners Sewing/Make a Tote Bag class... during a Saturday morning...We five students…read morelearned so much from our excellent teacher, Mary Margaret...We each left the class with a completed beautiful tote bag...and learned the basic important aspects of using a sewing machine.. Would definitely recommend sewing classes at Notion Fabric and Craft..and also, the sewing machines are available to rent...in the store on an hourly basis...

Walking into a craft stores, I've often felt intimidated. I've held onto the idea that I could…read morenever be a person who makes things! No one in my family sews, knits or needlepoints, and I hadn't been taught elsewhere. Yet, I've always wanted to create something with my hands. Fortunately, Mary Margaret, the owner of Notion Fabric & Craft encouraged me to confront my fear of the sewing machine! It doesn't hurt that her store is NOT overwhelming like many craft stores I've been to. Though she is fully stocked with beautiful fabrics, yarns, patterns, crafting accessories and tools, stepping inside Notion feels like you have been invited into someone's home studio. I have taken two of Mary Margaret's classes. The first one was the first time I ever touched a sewing machine. I left with a beautiful tote bag that I am able to boast that I made. In the second class, she taught us how to make a shirt. Mary Margaret is a wonderful, patient teacher who supports you in all of your mini-milestones and successes, as well as your...uh...learning opportunities along the way. I particularly appreciated her talk about clothing sizes in stores and how all of our bodies are unique and fluctuate from time to time. We can't be defined by someone else's size or idea of a size! The classroom upstairs is a bright and inviting community space. Mary Margaret offers tea and coffee for added coziness. Notion Fabric and Craft is a much needed addition to Montpelier for expert crafters and novices alike. Do yourself a favor and take a class taught by Mary Margaret!

Awesome class! My partner and I just finished the ASA 101 class, and the teacher, Errol, was very…read morepatient with her, and very knowledgeable and thorough. Both the classroom portion and the sailing part were thorough and safe. He was patient and funny and that helped her overcome her fears. The owner, Robin, is kind and helpful. Everyone who was there at their sailing club was nice and also seemed like a lot of fun! No snobby sailing club here! We wanted to stay to crew the Wednesday night race with them, but had to get home. Next time! Definitely a 5 Star school. We can't stop talking about it, and are already planning to take the next classes! Thank you, Robin and Errol, for an awesome experience! You have converted two new sailors!

An outstanding school to learn how to sail!…read more I had always dreamed of learning to sail but it took effort to find the time, commitment and a place where I could learn. Finally took the ASA 101 5 day keel boat sailing class here and it was hard, intense but absolutely tremendous: long story short, a few weeks later I joined a community boating program back home, passed the sailing test there in a jiffy and then took out a sailboat by myself, spending 4 amazing hours sailing along Spot Pond in Melrose, MA. I've tried a few sailing classes before this one but they were too short, not thorough enough and there's no way I could have taken a boat out alone after those. International Sailing School was the only one that worked. For that I have to thank my instructors Allen and Francis for their patience and for getting the points across to me. One word of caution if you plan to take this class: there are lots of places that will take you on sailboat rides around gorgeous Lake Champlain but this isn't one of them. It's a real class and you'll need to study and come well prepared before your very first class. Robin will mail you the "Sailing Made Easy" book before the class. Learn the terms very well because you won't have time to think twice on the water when your instructor tells you to head up, pull in the main sheet and go close hauled. Also look carefully at the points of sail, practice figuring out where the wind is blowing from and rehearse the movements you'll need to make when tacking or gybing. This was really an amazing place to learn to sail and I couldn't be happier at my luck in finding International Sailing School.
