Want to learn how to sew? We’ll teach you the basics of hand stitching and then walk you through simple projects using a sewing machine. Only 6 spots available.

Jenna will be leading a beginner sewing class this summer for teens who want to learn hand sewing and machine sewing techniques.  We'll go over various hand stitches, learn how to attach buttons, and practice sewing two pieces of fabric together before starting the sewing machine and completing mini-projects to take home. You'll leave this course with confidence in your sewing abilities and an understanding of sewing basics- an solid foundation before you begin sewing more challenging projects. 

Only 6 spots available. Email Jenna at jjones@nlrlibrary.org to reserve your seat!
