Event overview

August 27, 2025

2:00 pm to 4:30 pm

Just in time to go back to school, create your own re-usable notebook cover! A cloth cover will make your notebooks unique and keep them tidy.

This project is beginner-friendly: we'll learn a few skills like turning corners, pinning and back-stitching. We'll make a notebook cover the right size for an 8" x 10" notebook, but it can be re-used for a smaller size, too.


Registration is required and supplies will be provided (including a notebook). All participants must be 13 years of age to use a sewing machine on their own. If you want to bring your own supplies, they will need to be approved by staff.


Please note: The library sewing machines can be operated without the use of a foot pedal by using the stop/start button instead. 


We have Janome 2030 QDC-B sewing machines and DC-G sewing machines. More information about these machines, along with the library's sewing machine safety policy, can be found here.
