My Project

In our FCS program, we currently offer cooking, baking, and personal finance courses. I would like to expand into sewing in the future. But for the time being, I would like to have a good quality sewing machine available for students who would like to learn how to sew during their spare school time, or spend after school trying it out.

This sewing machine project goes along with my expanding FCS classroom library.

I currently have books on quilting and sewing. I also have one donated sewing machine for students to use. I would like to offer a few sewing machines for multiple students to use.
