Open Sewing Group
Join Sarah at the library for an open sewing group on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Bring a work-in-progress, start something new, or help us sew our donation quilt! All welcomed!
Mending Basics
Mending Basics: Sewing 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. This workshop will be presented at the East Greenbush Community Library.
