Make a memory shirt!  Using 2 or 3 second hand men's or ladies' shirts and a second hand flat bed sheet, create a wearable, comfortable shirt.  Perfect way to "size up" or "size down" garments that have been sitting in your closet, and to reuse/repurpose clothing.

Carol Anne will show you how to utilize existing buttons, button holes and hems into your new garment.  Please bring a sewing machine, fabric scissors, pins, ruler or measuring tape, 2 or 3 second hand men's or ladies' shirts (or combination), a second hand flat bed sheet, a few coordinating fabric scraps, and matching thread. Just basic sewing skills are required, and you will easily learn everything to complete your project.  Patterns are provided to use.

On December 7, Julie Lamberts joined us to share her knowledge on the topic of permaculture and food forests. It was an engaging presentation, and we'd like to share the PowerPoint slides she displayed to give you a chance to learn more about this sustainable practice, especially in light of our own food forest project, currently being established on the property!
