The Makery Sewing Lab is open Thursday evenings from 5:00 – 9:00 PM at the Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury. We start the first hour each session at 5:00 pm with a quick demo of a project that you can sew along with guidance from a mentor. A supply list or kits (at a minimal cost, must sign up in advance) will be offered depending on the project.

The sewing lab is available for you to work on your own projects, mentors look forward to assisting you.
