and attachments and different stitches,

while completing a drawstring bag.

Save money by fixing the clothes you

already own! Students can bring in their

own clothes in need of work or bring in

fabric for making samples of techniques.

Examples shown will vary with the

projects brought in but will include

zippers, hems, buttons, buttonholes, and

pockets. Supplies to bring to the first

samples, 7” zipper, button, seam ripper,

hem/seam gauge, sewing machine,
