"Thank you for such an AWESOME Workshop! You broke everything down so students could learn not just do. I could tell they were so proud to take home such a useful, substantial project!" Jaime O'Donnell Youth Services Librarian, Fairfield Free Public Library
With expert knowledge and a warm, effortless style, Ellen shows how to build a project from start to finish. All, in a step-by-step fashion. Patrons leave the workshop with a unique, sturdy project and new skills.
Best of all, NO SEWING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED!
"I got such great feedback from parents, youths, and staff!!" Stephanie Nesmith, Head of Youth Services, Hillside Public Library
For the Summer 2020, Ellen is offering fun, skill-building 1 hour workshops on Zoom and other online platforms. In these workshops, Ellen shows young patrons how to stitch cool projects with simple supplies and materials that can be found around the house! Libraries can reserve up to 25 spaces.
"Parents came back to tell us how proud their child was of their accomplishment. We were delighted that you could really teach kids how to use a sewing machine in under 2 hours. They came away with real knowledge and useful life skills. The kids have been using their bags all week."Jane Folger, Head of Youth Services, Maplewood Public Library
