Maker Workshop: Sewing Machines

Kids, teens and adults are invited to join us for a maker workshop with sewing machines. You can register for one session or all three (October 19, November 2, and November 9). Please be aware that the library has a limited number of sewing machines. If you are bringing your own machine, please note it in your registration.

Registration is required and space is limited, so if you are unable to attend please let the library know. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn basic sewing machine skills as well as choosing and completing a simple project. Learn how to thread a machine, control the treadle (foot control), and sew a straight line and curves.

Ability to thread a needle (needle threaders will be provided) and knot the end.

Ability to safely use a sewing machine with limited supervision.
