SEW GAY CLUB
Join TQNC’s monthly sewing skillshare! Whether you’ve never used a sewing machine or you’re an experienced customer, let’s craft together in a space centering LGBTQIA+ voices and experiences.
What to Expect:
We’ll kick off the gathering with a brief tutorial on using a sewing machine and follow with open time to practice, work on projects, and mingle. Bring that top you’ve been meaning to crop or those pants you’ve been meaning to hem. Bring your favorite piece of clothing that needs to be patched up or altered, or the elaborate halloween costume you’ve been working on. Or come with nothing at all but excitement to learn a new skill!
We will provide basic machines and supplies for attendees. Please note that you may not be guaranteed your own machine to use due to limited supplies, and you may be partnered with a sewing buddy. (If you have your own machine, feel free to bring it.)
A few experienced sewing “guides” will be present to teach and answer questions.
All are welcome, regardless of skill level, experience, or identity.
PLEASE NOTE: SPACE IS LIMITED
***Waitlist options available. Please register only if you plan on attending. In the event that you need to cancel your registration, please notify the library so that someone else may take their place.
NEED TO CANCEL?
If you need any additional help with this program or registration, please reach out to us by email at medford@minlib.net or by phone at 781-395-7950.
NEED TO CANCEL?
When someone does not show up for a program they are registered for, they are taking away an opportunity for another member of the community. Patrons who are registered for an event they cannot attend are asked to cancel their registration at least 24 hours in advance. Failure to show up for programs two (2) times without notice will be grounds for being wait-listed for 90 days. Patrons who arrive 10 minutes or more after the program start time will be considered no-shows. They may be denied access after that time, and their spot may be given away to people on the waiting list.
