Our “Intro to Sewing” class is officially full, and registration is now closed—what a joyful start! We welcomed 14 enthusiastic students and were thrilled to offer one full scholarship and two half scholarships.

At orientation, students dove right in by exploring different sewing machine models through paper sewing (no thread), getting hands-on with the tools in a basic sewing kit, and creating sample pages of sewing papers and fabrics we’ll be studying together. We’re excited to learn new sewing skills and grow creatively as a community!

If you have extra sewing notions, fabric, bedding, or clothing, please consider donating them at the Alliance Thrift Store collection bin so students can explore a wide variety of fabric textures in their sewing exercises. For more information, contact Cat R. at mysticgrove@orlandouu.org.
