 LEXINGTON, Ky., (Feb. 14, 2007) – The University of Kentucky
Cooperative Extension Service is hosting a sewing workshop March
29 through 31 at the Kentucky Leadership Center in Jabez. The
workshop, entitled “Come Sew with Us,” covers the fundamentals
for beginners and will teach everything from sewing machine
basics to home décor projects and clothing.
“You don’t have to know how to sew to come to this event,” said
Jennifer Klee, Woodford County Extension agent for family and
consumer science. “Maybe you bought a new or used sewing machine
and you’ve been afraid to even get it out of the box. This is
for you. We will have classes that teach you how to operate a
sewing machine and/or a serger. You take these classes before
you move on to any of the project classes and you’re on your
way. The classes also build confidence for those who already
know how to sew and those who may have sewn years ago and are
just now getting back into it.”
After learning to thread a machine and sew a straight line,
participants can choose several projects to complete during the
three-day workshop including pillows, window toppers, purses,
pajama bottoms, totes, a drawstring skirt, a peasant blouse,
simple serger projects and quick gifts. Some classes take more
than one session to complete.
“It’s really incredible to see the progress of beginners in this
three day period,” Klee said. “It really shows them that they
can sew and finish a project that looks very nice.”
Registration must be received by March 1 to ensure a spot.
One-night lodging and registration is $85; two-night lodging and
registration is $130. Make checks payable to Hardin County
Homemakers and mail to Hardin County Cooperative Extension
Office, 201 Peterson Drive, Elizabethtown, Ky., 42701.
