  • Operate a sewing machine.
  • Control stitching of a variety of seams, hems, and finishing raw edges.
  • Complete a usable project that will reflect your newly-honed sewing skills.

You may select between 2 projects: creating a simple apron or a reusable tote bag. The Library supplies all materials and the tools for completing the projects. A JTPL library card is required to use the Makerspace; click here to get one if you don't already have one!
