From fabric donations to finished projects ❤

Homeschool Co-op students made bags in Sewing Fundamentals. They couldn't have done it without the generous fabric donations to the McGregor Public Library.

Thank you to all who donated fabric, and for supporting hands-on learning!

(The kids will continue sewing each Tuesday with more creative and useful projects!)

Do you have old sewing patterns and/or fabric you no longer need?

The McGregor Library would love donations for the Sewing Foundations program for 6th grade–H.S. homeschool students.

Your gently used patterns and materials will be put to great use—and appreciated by the students! (The students are working on sewing from now through March)
