At the Sewing Club we have discovered it is more fun to sew with friends! Join us on Thursday mornings for a simple yet functional home decor, bag or accessory group sew-a-long.

Recently we made Dara's Awesome Face Mask and next time we will be using the self binding technique demonstrated in this video to create reusable cloth napkins.

After that, we will be making cord keepers and then exploring a variety of pillow cover patterns.

Many thanks to Dara for sharing her custom mask pattern with us! She suggests you print the attached file at 100% on regular paper. 

Join us Thursday, January 28 at 7:30 a.m. MT to sew this particular mask together.
