Hempstead County Cooperative Extension Holds Two-Day Sewing Camp

The Hempstead County Cooperative Extension Service offered a two-day sewing camp this past Monday and Tuesday (July 7th & 8th).  The class was taught by Hempstead County 4-H Agent Betty Wingfield with assistance from EHC volunteer La Juan Thompson.  Participants learned how to use basic sewing tools, how to operate a sewing machine, and basic sewing skills.  They made a pin cushion and a pillowcase with coordinating trim to take home for personal use.

Future sewing workshops are being planned and a 4-H Sewing Club is being formed.  If you are interested, phone 870-777-5771 or email Betty Wingfield at bwingfield@uada.edu.
