July Hand-Sewing Social with SCRAP PDX

Fri, July 31 from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm PDT

 

Join us at The Literary Arts Bookstore & Cafe to hand-sew decorative plush to celebrate SWIMMING season with our friends from SCRAP PDX! Sure, Portland isn’t a beach town, but we sure love a good “beach day” on a riverfront. Sew felt shells, fish, beach balls, and more! ✨ Bring a friend! Make a friend! Grab a beverage, browse the books, and gather round to hand-sew some felt, not-so-sandy summery charms!

Traceable templates & embroidery stitch print-outs provided. Self-guided & beginner-friendly. A SCRAP educator will be ready to assist newer sewists with hand-sewing basics!

This is a ticketed event. Drop-ins welcome. Get tickets here.
