There will be several sewing machines there, and participants are welcome to bring their own. We will meet at 1pm by the front door with a cart to carry your machines upstairs.
There is no fee, but a donation of a pair of new, warm, durable mittens or gloves would be welcomed.
This wonderful opportunity to work with Mary and find out how to create beautiful warm, durable upcycled mittens comes just in time for the holidays!
