Patch sewing night

Has sewing patches been left on the back burner as studies have begun again? Has the pile of unsewn patches been growing too much lately? It’s time to get to action! Come sew some patches at Ossinkulma on February 14th!

The Grandmas will be there to help with the sewing, so no worries if your sewing skills are a bit rusty! There will also be small snacks and some sewing equipment to borrow, but please bring your own equipment if you can!

You can join and leave at your own pace, no signup needed!

TLDR:
WHAT? Patch sewing!
WHERE? Ossinkulma (Otakaari 18A)
WHEN? Fri 14.2. at 17-22
WHY? Because overalls need more patches!
