About the event

Join us for three days of sewing fun this summer. All materials will be provided! You can bring your own fabric if you prefer. Experienced sewers will have the opportunity to make up to three projects. We will make an apron, an oversized hot pad, and a reuseable microwave popcorn bag. New and less experience sewers are welcome and will begin with the basics, before choosing from one of the larger projects listed.

This is a series of classes over three days and we are hoping participants will attend for all three days as projects may overlap days.

Please feel free to bring a bagged lunch, drink, and/or snack. Light refreshments, such as chips, will be provided.

For teens and tweens, ages 9 and up! Registration is required!

Pride Paddle at Little River

We will provide the equipment; you bring weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes. Registration is required for all. Ages: 7 yrs +,
