Time to dust off your sewing machine and get back into the creative mood. Join instructor, Darlene Irving as she leads another fun and educational sewing session. In this 3-week class, you will learn to make a July Tote Bag. Both practical and stylist the tote is 15” x 12” with a zippered pocket on the front and two elasticated pockets on the sides perfect for water bottles and cell phone. Plus, it has a recessed zippered top closure for security.
A list of materials for the project (i.e. fabric, thread, basic tools ...)
will be provided prior to class. Then
just bring your materials and your sewing machine and get started. This is a meet up / sew up group geared
towards those who already have basic sewing machine skills. Class size is limited so sign up today.
This class will meet on July 12th, 19th, and 26th
from 12:30 to 2:30 PM.
Instructor, Darlene Irving has been sewing for over 40 years and enjoys
sharing her love of sewing with others.
3-D PRINTING WITH TOYSINBOX: Toysinbox

multi-color mini 3-D object of their own creation. Due to the popularity of
this event, we are offering two sessions.

with children in two separate groups, we can make some adjustments.

LINDSAY’S
PUPPET PALS: Lindsay’s funny,
fast-paced, and highly interactive variety show delights the young and the
young at heart! Kids will meet several larger-than-life, hand-crafted
puppets... perhaps a goofy moose, a heroic tiger or a lovable bear. Oh my!
Maybe a dancing robot or flamingo, an adorable mouse, a stubborn goat, a shy
dragon or a singing dinosaur! Come find out who's making an appearance this
time!
Lindsay has been performing full-time since
2011, entertaining to several thousand children each year. Through animated
storytelling and thoughtful messaging, she hopes to inspire creative play,
resilience and empathy in even the youngest. She also believes shared joy and
laughter strengthen communities.
