We are excited to introduce a new offering that we have bene working on recently, a sewing workshop class led by JV's own Stephanie McIntyre!
To tell you a little about her, she is a high school teacher, who transitioned from teaching the theories of computer science to teaching the grounded, hands-on skill of sewing using a sewing machine! After making the big move from the Northeast to beautiful, charming Jersey Village, Stephanie has returned to her passion of teaching others how to sew. She teaches workshops on how to use a sewing machine to create fabulous, eco-friendly projects using sustainable and thrifted materials. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned sewer, Stephanie's workshops are the perfect blend of learning, creativity, and a whole lot of fun.
We are starting this off with a Zombie Hands pillow for the spooky season!! Class will be at JV City Hall from 6-9pm. All materials and sewing machines included, no prior experience necessary!
Signups will open Friday! Spots are very limited! SIGN UPS
