CLARKSTON SEWING CLUB 

Women and girls of the Clarkston refugee community are gathering on Thursdays at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church to learn and refine basic sewing machine skills.  Under the tutelage of experienced volunteers from the Global Village Project, a school in Decatur that serves teenage refugee girls whose educations have been interrupted by war, the program participants use fabric, sewing machines and related equipment to design and produce personal items that will find application in their own lives.  Good sewing machine practice and care, identification of various types of fabrics and their best use, proper measurement techniques, and simple color theory are all covered in the course of the 8 meetings scheduled for June, July, and August. The club is limited to 10 participants at this time.
