Making Hats and Scarves for the Community (All ages welcomed)
All ages welcomed!
Rescheduled from November 18th. Join us from 6 to 7pm on December 3rd at the Lansingburgh Branch Library for an evening of making as many fleece hats and scarves as possible for the local community. The library received a large donation of fleece that will be used for this community service project. A few machines and scissors will be available for use, but feel free to bring your own as well. We are hoping for a good turn out. Hats and scarfs will be donated as soon as possible to those in need.
Mending Workshop
Mending Workshop for Adults
Join us for ‘MiY Time (Mend-it-Yourself Time) where you can learn the basics of mending and get hands-on experience practicing this necessary skill. We’ll start with simple stitches on scrap fabric and work towards mending 1 to 2 personal items (you bring them). All necessary supplies will be provided, however attendees are welcomed to bring their own hand sewing essentials to practice with (optional).
Mending becomes easier over time and can make a big impact on your life and on the planet.
