Green Sewing!






I will be teaching a green sewing class at Abeille in Brookline on July 29th and August 5th!

Discover fun ways to upcycle old T-shirts! We will be embellishing tanktops (or the shirts of your choice) with hand-sewn T-shirt flowers and /or T-shirt ruffles.

Please bring tanktop or shirt to embellish, T-shirts with lots of text or a design that strikes you, corresponding thread, any lace, tulle, buttons, fabric scraps for making flowers. And get ready to get crafty!

I'm so excited for this class - hopefully the first of many eco-friendly sewing classes!

Class is $35; for more information or to sign up please check out the website at:
