About the Sew-Op
At the Sew-op you will find:
Classes: In our first 2 years of operation, we have offered classes in: Basic Sewing, Mending, Rug braiding, Knitting, Embroidery, Altering Clothing, and Spinning. In 2012 we hope to add children's classes, sewing machine repair, and other skills; please use the co-op's Suggestion Box or contact Kye with your suggestions!
Open Hours: We hold 2-hour Open Hours sessions several times a month. They are free, and no registration is required. Sew-op volunteers are available to help, but a basic knowledge of sewing machines and sewing skills is required. The purpose of these Open Hours is to bring people together to learn from each other and enjoy each other's company.
Materials Exchange: All our materials of cloth, thread, and notions have been generously donated to the Sew-op; in turn, these materials are available free to those who are interested. If you take materials from the Sew-op, we ask that you sign a sheet listing them, so that we can keep track. If you have materials to donate to the Sew-op, please contact Kye Cochran (kye@uppervalleyfood.coop) 802/295-5804 so that we can arrange to receive them.
