Transportation costs

Long distance travel expenses include round trip air fare, fare to and from the airport and/or parking fees. I will book the airline ticket and expect to be reimbursed for the full amount. Airfare will be booked well in advance to provide the lowest possible airfare via economy class. Once the airfare is booked there is a no cancellation policy for the class.

All meals and lodging must be provided. Lodging in a motel or hotel is preferred but I will consider housing with a member of the group. I expect a private room with private bath in a non-smoking home which is a also a home without household pets.

Class fees and transportation fees are due upon completion of the class unless otherwise arranged in advance.

Classroom logistics

20 students are maximum for each class.

All classrooms must have large tables suitable for 2 students to each table. Other items needed in the classroom are as follows:

• garbage bags
• blackboard and chalk
• pin board surface for samples
• a large table for teacher supplies
• a chair for the teacher
• irons and ironing boards 3 or 4 for a class of 20 students
• enough electric outlets for sewing machines and irons

If the class is a clothing class, it is helpful if a mirror is available so students can see to adjust the pattern. Notification will be made if a slide projector is needed in class at the time the materials lists are sent to the group.

It is expected that each student will bring a sewing machine to classes where they are required and enough extension cords to plug in the machines and irons.

In a six hour class a lunch break will be taken at 12:30.
