We are members of OlyMega, (Olympia Makers, Engineers, Geeks, and Artists) who meet every fourth Friday to create things out of fabric, thread, yarn or other craft materials. Have a project you want to finish? Bring it along and socialize as you work on it. Want to learn how to use a sewing machine? Come learn on ours.
We have a few sewing machines and will soon have a serger to learn on. We will have available second-hand sourced fabric pieces that are good for small projects and practicing new skills. Embroidery floss will be available as well as small embroidery hoops and needles for on-site use or can be purchased at cost.
Some of the disciplines we work in are:
Darning
Embroidery: machine and hand
Learning small clothing repairs: buttons, patches, gussets
Identifying fabric fiber content
Laser cutting
Inkscape for preparing pictures for laser cutting and etching
If you are interested in learning something new, or just looking for a place to work with other people whose interests intersect with yours, come see us at OlyMega!
