Join the library for an open sewing class on the first and third Thursdays of the month at our Lansingburgh Branch. The program will be led by Sarah Collen, owner of the Troy Sew Shop. This is a drop-in program for attendees to bring works-in-progress, get help from other attendees and Sarah, and generally spend time with other sewists in the community. The library will provide several sewing machines, but participants are encouraged to bring their own as well. There will be fabric scraps and limited sewing supplies provided for those interested in beginning a new project.
No registration is required for this event, but participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to ensure enough space for all.
