I love to make gifts, but often don't have much time. This will be great for ideas for upcoming holidays and birthdays!

Interested in sustainability and sewing? Check out SewGreen at http://www.sew-green.org/ This group in Ithaca NY teaches beginning sewing classes, classes in repair and reuse of garments, and how to take care of aging sewing machines. Activities include a "Make Your Own Prom Dress" series and an annual Sustainable Fashion Show. Donations of fabric or sewing machines are used in the classroom, or sold at the SewGreen shop to support classroom activities for all ages.
