SUMMARY:Radical Sewing Club-ALX

No one turned away for lack of funds! Monetary donations will be split between Del Ray Artisans (our wonderful hosts) and Radical Sewing Club for continued materials. \nHave materials to donate? We welcome fabric (full cuts and scraps alike)\, thread\, needles\, interfacing\, embroidery hoops\, buttons\, pins\, trims\, lace\, and functional zippers. \nContact: radicalsewingclubalx@pm.me or @radicalsewingclub_alx on Instagram \nView All Upcoming Dates
