Sew Much Fun Studios was created by Lisa Shull, of The Fabric Loft, who has been running a successful custom window treatment and design business for over 30 years.  She has taken her sewing skills to the next level by opening a sewing studio to teach others and spread the love for sewing. Sew Much Fun Studios is a fun and exciting place for kids and adults to learn the basic skills such as hand sewing, working on a sewing machine, working with patterns and much more. There are many creative projects to choose from on all skill levels and the studio has a huge selection of fabrics, felt, buttons, ribbon and other embellishers to personalize each project.

The studio is located at Wrightstown Health & Fitness on Durham Road in Wrightstown and offers morning, after school and Saturday classes.  Each class is 1 ½ hours long and limited to 2 – 3 students. Classes are grouped into four sessions and students are guaranteed to make a fabulous project during each class.  Both the parents and the kids are amazed at the great things we create and, after just one class, students can’t wait to come back! Adults are enjoying our classes as a refresher or as a new found hobby. Special requests, such as learning to hem pants or making pillows are also welcomed.

Visit www.SewMuchFunStudios.com for pictures of students and their projects and get more information on how you can sign up and start having sew much fun!

Lisa hopes to see you soon.   She would also like to thank all of her customers who have used her services throughout the years and have continued to support her in her new business ventures in the Bucks County area.

At School of Rock Newtown we’ve been putting on live student rock shows since 2004. We offer music lessons for guitar, drums, bass, keyboard, and vocals. And your first lesson is free! Learn why School of Rock is unlike any other music program out there.

These days, virtual experiences get passed off as the real thing. At School of Rock, kids have fun actively learning. Here they play actual musical instruments, not game controllers. Here, garage band is a thing kids form, not download. And here is where they can develop the confidence and charisma that wins them real followers, not just the online kind. So  what’s better for your kids – screen time or stage time? School of Rock Newtown offers group and private instruction for kids starting as early as  age 6. We believe live performance is the most fun and effective way to teach an instrument, which is why we get kids playing on stage as quickly as possible. Our classes are tailored to all age groups and levels of proficiency, and instructors are passionate about creating a legacy of music by helping students succeed in music and beyond.

So what are you waiting for? To schedule your first lesson, call (267) 242-6961 or email [email protected]

And, thanks to our great musical families we have won the “Best Of” award from The Intelligencer newspaper for three years in a row in the “Music Instruction” category. We are professional musicians who earn their living through music, not as a side job. We are also a family oriented music studio and we get to know the students along with their families as music instruction can be a long term bond between a student and their teacher. Along with the weekly lessons, SMC offers free recitals twice a year for our students to show off what they’ve learned, for their friends and family. Our summer theater camps, which have included our past productions of Annie, Legally Blonde, Seussical, Fame and High School Musical also offer free performances for family and friends.

Music is our passion and our mission statement is “Music is the Gift of a Lifetime”. Our teachers love to pass on their decades of study and performing on to the next generation of musicians. Whether you’re six or sixty-six, it’s never a wrong time to challenge yourself or your child to the world of learning to play an instrument and play for your own enjoyment or for others. You might not be able to play football or basketball when you’re seventy but you’ll probably still be able to play your instrument. Music truly is the gift of a lifetime. Give us a try, you’ll be glad you did! When you call or email to start your musical journey, ask us about our introductory rate for new students.
