About this Event
Spark Sew In series 2024
A monthly sewing workshop that focuses on charitable sewing! No sewing experience necessary – everyone is welcome. If you are new to sewing you can learn from a more experienced sewist as well as try your hand at cutting out pattern pieces, pressing seams, or coordinating fabric choices, bring a friend! Open to the public and free of charge. We will use donated fabrics and materials. We would love to be able to put these donations to good use!
For the first few workshops we will be sewing dresses for ‘Project Dress a Girl’. This is an organization that provides dresses for girls in need, both nationally and internationally. There are some guidelines to follow – the dress must have pockets, not have a zipper or buttons, using only cotton fabric, etc. Further details will be provided at the Sew-In, but you can also check the organization out online. There are also many YouTube videos for inspiration.
Feel free to let us know if you have other ideas for charitable sewing projects – animal shelters, nursing homes - do you know any organizations that would welcome some handmade items?
