Service Projects and Friendship Sewing

Mark your calendars for the fun and friendship of sewing for donation to good causes. If you have a project that needs a large table for basting, you want some feedback on a project, or you just like the idea of sewing and visiting with fun people please join us. We have irons, cutting boards and many large tables.
