Learn to Sew; Fabric N95 Covers - $40
Saturday, February 5 from 10:30a - 12noon
Face masks are a fact of life during this pandemic, and now we are all encouraged to wear medical-grade ones. Wearing a cloth cover over N95 masks helps keep them clean, adds a layer of protection, and extends their useable life from one to five wears.
In this 90 minute class we will learn to sew reversible cloth covers to go over N95 masks. This is a beginner-friendly project. If you know your way around a sewing machine - or have taken one of our Get to Know Your Sewing Machine classes - this class is a great next step on your sewing journey.
In this class we will learn straight line and curved line sewing, cutting multiple fabrics at once, and “assembly-line sewing” tricks for when you want to make multiples of one project at the same time.
You will leave class with one or more N95 face mask covers.
