Join us for an evening of revisiting the basics of sewing. The Eco-Artisans focus on mending, reusing, and reducing waste. Whether you want a refresher or you’ve brand new—all skill levels are welcome. This event is a precursor to a dress making program, where the Eco-Artisans will be repurposing discarded pillowcases into dresses for children in need. Commitment to both events is not required.
