Making Sewing Accessible

Stuff We Love

Feb. 15, 2025

Wish you could fix that tear in your jacket, patch your jeans, or even create some of your own designs? Sewing has become something of a lost art, and Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey wants to bring it back. Whether you’re approaching sewing from a creative standpoint or just want to make your clothes last longer, their “Make It Sew (Machine)” program can help. Led by costume designer Kristal Taylor, the six-week class is designed for adult beginners and starts Feb. 25 on Tuesdays at 3:30pm at CTAC ($135/$125 members). If you can’t make the commitment, CTAC will offer more sewing skills options in April with a Sewing Machine Workshop on April 15, a Hand Sewing Workshop on April 22, and a Beginners Alteration Workshop on April 29 ($75/$50 members per workshop).
