Sew 101 // back in business! + .yyc

Our first session in the new space was such a fun one — it felt so good to be back at it. I’m especially grateful for the new faces who joined us last night to try something new or joined in something that felt familiar!

There’s just something special about learning a new skill and creating with your hands. Can’t wait for the next week!
