Library: Brookwood Collaboratory Sew Easy Drop In Host

Volunteers provide patrons with one-on-one support with basic sewing skills including; pattern reading, fabric prep, machine set up, threading, hemming, and troubleshooting projects.  Volunteers encourage participants and maintain a positive, welcoming environment while insuring the safe use of the Collab's sewing equipment.  A proficient knowledge of sewing and sewing machine use is required.  Training on the use and operation of the library sewing machines will be provided.  This is a drop in "clinic", with no guarentee of how many people may stay by during the posted times.  When no patrons are using the service, volunteers should be prepared to work on a project of their own, as often that will inspire patrons to engage with you giving you the opportunity to promote the drop in sessions.  You may also answer questions about other Collaboratory services, you'll be provided a general overview of what the collaboratory offers.  You'll also help set up the sewing stations and clean up at the end.
