The Makery Pt 1

The Makery is a creative collective in the heart of downtown State College on Calder Way. They offer art and sewing classes for all ages, workshops, parties and events in a fun, festive, light-filled space. Check out their website at themakerypa.com

This is the fourth year Amy Frank, owner of The Makery, has worked with me on sewing projects for Rwanda. They made items for teaching in the classroom, for storytelling and this year for new babies. Amy Frank and Kristin Nasal each taught two sewing classes, finishing up with beautiful receiving blankets.

Some of the flannel was donated by Scraps & Skeins, a creative reuse shop filled with sewing and knitting supplies. Check them out on Facebook!!!

The students, all girls this time, had fun selecting their favorite piece of fabric. Then it was on to learning next steps of measuring, cutting, pinning........
