Discover
fabulous fabrics, yarn, and sew-
ing supplies at the SewGreen Store in downtown Ithaca. Quilters, crafters,
and designers will love our unique selection. |
Learn
to sew! Classes for all ages start soon. New this winter: fashion focus
for tweens, doll clothes, pattern making for
a pencil skirt, and fashion drawing. |
We
assess, clean, oil, and tune-up older sewing machines – or show
you how to do it yourself. We also refurbish donated machines and often
have a few for sale. |
Our
apprenticeship program is free to qualified teens who have a “passion
for fashion” or want an after-school job. We are also recruiting for
college internships. |

PREP
NIGHTS
SewGreen “prep nights” are open to volunteers who want
to help out but not make a regular weekly commitment. We meet at the
store from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on the first and last Monday of each month
to fold, measure, and iron fabric; string buttons; sew; or do whatever
needs doing. A good way to unwind and make new friends. No need to
pre-register. Just show up! |

DAYS
FOR GIRLS
SewGreen was proud to partner with two Cornell University departments
recently on a project to make reusable feminine hygiene kits for girls
in impoverished regions where modern supplies aren’t available.
Students and community volunteers completed 100 kits, which have been
shipped to Days
for Girls International for distribution. |

WE
NEED DONATIONS!
Holiday shoppers put a serious dent in our store stock. The shelves
are filling up again, but we need more. If this is a good time to
clean out that stash and donate unwanted fabric, yarn, and sewing
supplies, we will happily accept it. Donated materials are used in
our classes, resold to support programs, or given away. Please follow
the guidelines. |
