for All of Your Patrons
Ellen Lumpkin Brown is a sewing educator who will guide your patrons through a process of creating with the original power tool, the sewing machine.
"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
Ellen brin
gs everything needed to complete a project in a 2-hour workshop for tweens/teens or a 3-hour workshop for adults. Everything! Sewing machines, scissors, thread, nametags, powerstrips, fabric...everything! Workshops can accommodate up to 8 patrons, or if the library or museum can provide a volunteer assistant (no sewing knowledge needed), the workshop can be increased to 12 patrons.
"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
