About the event

Join us in Express Yourself for a basic sewing machine tutorial. You will learn the parts of a sewing machine, how to wind a bobbin, how to thread the sewing machine, choose a stitch, and sew a straight line. This tutorial is designed for absolute beginners. All materials will be provided. Please do not bring your own sewing projects to this tutorial. Questions? Contact Jessica at jllundin@dconc.gov. Open to both adults and teens.

Express Yourself was made possible through the generosity of the Durham Library Foundation.
