Have you ever wanted to learn to sew or better the skills you already have? Come see what the library has to offer! NKCPL has had an in-house sewing studio since 2018, thanks to a seed grant from the NKC Rotary Club and the support of our Friends of the Library organization. We currently have 12 computerized sewing machines, a serger, and an embroidery machine.
NKCPL offers a handful of project-based sewing classes each month, plus Open Sew sessions where you can bring your work-in-progress or learn how to use the different machines.
If you have taken classes before and have spoken to our sewing studio coordinator, you are able to use the room outside of class time to sew on your own, as well.
In the past, we've offered home dec sewing classes (make your own throw pillows, blankets, and dish towels), seasonal/holiday sewing classes (make your own stockings, for example), and accessory sewing classes (make your own purses, bags, headbands, eyeglass cases, etc.). We've even ventured into the world of basic garment sewing.
All upcoming classes are listed under the calendar tab.
