Join us for a new monthly program, Make! Each month we’ll get together for a fun evening of communal crafting.

February can make you feel like it may never be warm again. Beat the mid-winter blues with these cozy reusable hand warmers, made from all natural materials. This is a fun sewing project for any skill level. Brand new to sewing? Learn a basic stitch that will come in handy for repairing your clothes. A seasoned sewer? Let your creativity flow and customize yours to your heart’s delight.

Join us on Tuesday, February 9th 2021 at 6:30 to learn how to make a simple DIY handwarmer that you can tuck in your coat pocket.
