Program Description
Event Details
This workshop is for people who have never touched a sewing machine.
Are you interested in repairing or making your clothes or costumes? The first step is learning how to operate a sewing machine!
In this workshop Fay will show you how to make a patch pocket for utility or decoration.
We will have three sewing machines - Fay will give an introduction and then we'll take turns cycling through and giving the sewing machine a try.
Fay Hsieh-Lewis has been sewing for about 25 years. She studied fashion design at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the School of Fashion Design in Boston.
Please Note: Attendees should bring a thin cloth bag on which to sew their patch pocket.
If you have your own sewing machine, you are welcome to bring it!
Registration is required.
