About the Event
FREE | ALL AGES* | NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
In September at "Wednesday Sewing" we are making together hooded scarf with the leadership of Anita Boey and support from Ghader Bsmar and Shaimaa Yacout.
The capacity for this workshop series is 16 people without a machine, and we can accommodate 4 more people if they bring their own sewing machines. While you are only required to register for the September 4 session, participants are expected to join all four sessions on September 4, 11, 18 and 25 . If you register for the September 4 session, you do not need to register again for the sessions on September 11, 18 and 25. New registrations will not be accepted throughout the month. We expect a high number of registrations, so please let us know immediately via email at info@jamii.ca before September 5 at 12 PM if you foresee that you will not be able to join all four sessions, so another participant from the waitlist can take your spot. We apologize if the workshop is filled before you register.
Hooded Scarf
Our Sewing Facilitator, Anita Boey, has designed a Hooded Scarf made from repurposed sari and wool. This elegant scarf wraps around the neck while providing protection for the head. Much like a storyteller revealing layers of a narrative, this scarf unfolds to showcase intricate details and diverse characters within its design.
Participants will have the opportunity to create their own Hooded Scarf. We will provide a selection of fabrics to choose from, and we encourage participants to bring any special fabric that holds personal meaning. For this project, participants will need 2 meters of thick, yet soft fabric (imagine a cozy scarf).
For novice sewers, our dedicated Sewing Workshop Assistants, Shaimaa and Ghader, will guide you through the fundamental skills of operating a sewing machine, starting with a simple yet captivating scarf without the hood.
