Beginner’s Sewing (Age 12+)

September 3, 2022 @ 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm

September 3 from 2:30 – 5:30 pm

Learn to sew! This fun class teaches you the basics of sewing with techniques you’ll be able to use for years to come. We’ll be making a pillowcase that you may want to give as a gift (or perhaps keep for yourself)! At the end of class, you’ll take your pillowcase and the pattern home. Pillowcases make great gifts for the holiday season. Supply list located at artcentereast.org/calendar. Please enter through the 5th Street door.
