Join Generator at Old Spokes Home located at 331 N Winooski Ave in Burlington for an evening of hands-on DIY fun! Generator will be leading a sewing workshop where anyone who shows up can make a small cycling utility pouch for FREE.
The world is made of fabric and learning to sew unlocks a whole world of possibilities. Maybe off the shelf pants and shirts never fit quite right… Sewing can fix it! Maybe you’re looking for the perfect handlebar bag for your bike, but just can’t find something with the right features in the right color… Sewing can make it! Maybe you have an idea for a piece of clothing or a bag that doesn’t exist yet… Sewing can manifest it!
While sewing is not a difficult skill to learn, and many projects don’t require high level expertise… Sewing is something that needs to be learned.
During this workshop participants will receive a basic introduction to sewing with technical fabrics by making a simple cycling utility pouch perfect for protecting your phone in a sweaty jersey pocket, for storing some basic tools, or for protecting a spare tube while it bounces around in your saddle or frame bag. The process involves cutting out the pattern, sewing the seams, and adding the snap closure.
Generator staff will provide guidance and support during every step. All materials are provided, and all ages are welcome.
We do ask that younger kids—and maybe some adults (your friends know who you are)—be accompanied by a mature person that can support them while learning new skills that might not come very easily at first.
So, clear your schedule and consider joining us at Old Spokes Home on Thursday, July 17th to get your learn on!
