local donation. There will be a resource table with samples and patterns to take home to sew on your own. Call the
Extension office at 623-3450 by Monday, July 4, noon, and tell us which sewing project you want to do. Please bring your
own thread, scissors, pins, measuring tape, and seam gauge. Also bring the fabric and list of needed supplies with you for
the following project you have chosen:
*Amount of fabric needed depends on the size you are making. Call the office for exact amount needed.
