About the event

If you know how to use a sewing machine and to do basic hand sewing, join Connecting with Threads to create your own projects in our "Open Sew" series. This is a series of programs where teens and tweens will be able to continue to build their knowledge as independent sewers. You will be provided a list of projects you can work on for yourself or use one of our kits to create a bag, a pillowcase, a quilt or other item to give back to our community! All items created for the community will be donated through a local nonprofit organization to reach our community members who need them.

There are other dates in this series, including Apr 11, Apr 25, May 9, May 23, June 6 and June 20. This program is for teens and tweens ages 9 and up! Registration is required!
