Repair, Recycle, Re-Create

This project will focus on using machine and hand-sewing skills to repair clothing items and to create something new, recycling used materials. Members will have the opportunity to learn basic sewing techniques and explore various textiles to create a fidget quilt that will eventually be given back to the community.
