Tonight, Tuesday June 7th 8:00pm-10:00pm
I am quite new, both on the Crown Heights board and in the neighborhood, so forgive me if I'm sharing something you already know. Every other Tuesday at Launchpad there is a sewing collective at Launchpad. A friend of mine has been attending and will soon be taking over leadership of this group. As a crafty person she has asked me to join her in this.
Apparently attendance has been dropping off lately which strikes me as a real shame. Where else are you going to get the chance to use sewing machines for free? There is also a fair bit of donated fabric.
And now, to sweeten the deal, we're knocking down the crafting barriers and I will be there to help teach knitting and/or crocheting. I generally teach kids, so anyone can do it. Heck, throw a craft at me and I'll see if we can't figure it out together if I haven't done it already.
I'm new in this immediate area (I previously lived in PH for 8 years, so it's not that foreign) and would love to get to know some of you locals and this is a great opportunity. So please feel free to just stop by if you get a chance and we can chat about knitting or sewing, or how to even use the machines.
Hopefully I'll see some people there tonight
