Learn to Sew with 4-H!

JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (January 10, 2025) – Chautauqua County 4-H Leaf Jr. program is inviting youth ages 9-18 to the Carnahan Center on the JCC Campus for a 2-class series on how to sew!

The first class will be held Thursday, January 23, 2025, at 6:30pm at the Carnahan Center on the JCC Campus. Students will be working with 4-H volunteer Nancy Johnson to make a sewing box to store a basic sewing kit. Students will leave with the box and the basic kit contents.

The second class will be on February 6th, 2025, also at 6:30pm at the Carnahan Canter on the JCC Campus, students can learn to use a sewing machine and sew their own pillowcase. This program will be taught by Amber Laurie of the Concord Quilting Studio in Ripley, NY. Youth do not need to bring their own sewing machine, but it is preferred to be sure we have enough machines to go around.

Each class costs $10 for 4-H members and $15 for non-4-H members. Though the classes are being billed as a series, youth do not have to take both classes. Pre-registration is required to be sure we have enough materials for all. Registration can be completed on our website at https://chautauqua.cce.cornell.edu/events/2025/01/23/leaf-junior-sewing-series, by calling the Extension Office at 664-9502 ext. 212, or by emailing chautauqua4h@cornell.edu.
