We decided to put our summer camps up early this year, to help parents plan around the camps their kids want to attend. This summer we have four weeks of teen camp (including Jewelry), four weeks of Kids Sewing Camp (including a week just for Stuffies) and one week of Little Kids Mixed Media Art camp!
This Spring semester we are open for our adult classes in beginning sewing, sewing with knits, apparel construction, intuitive stitch and more! We can't wait to have you in class!

So lets be honest, our Free Art Supply Cabinet was looking a little ragged lately. It looked more like a free pile on the side of the road than what we intended it to be. Our motto is "We make reuse beautiful" and as Ithaca's original Creative Reuse store, we knew we wanted our cabinet to also be beautiful. Free shopping is still shopping, and we wanted that experience to be as pleasurable as shopping in our store. Her final piece shows a girl listening to music on her headphones while painting the front of the cabinet--a building where each person in the window is engaged in a creative activity. So how does the Free Art Supply cabinet work exactly? Its pretty simple--take what you need, leave what you don't, and make art! Inside the cabinet are a bunch of clear bins with labels so you know where to leave the things you add. Together, we'll keep it organized! So what kind of things would you find in SewGreen's Free Art Supply Cabinet? What ever you bring us! Definitely expect to find colorful fabric scraps, yarn, collage materials, patterns, crayons, pens, paint, notions and ribbons, and craft books.
We make CREATIVE REUSE beautiful! We're so excited that its fairy time again!! Last year we made almost 100 fairies with are kids (and some adults too!). This time the event will take place in the Art Room. 10-3pm Saturday, 3/29 Free Artist-led Activity: Come learn the relaxing art of Slow Stitch with Laura Braaten during our free artist-led activity for Gallery Night. Enjoy tea, the Press Bay Fires, and Laura's beautiful pieces. All ages (accompanied by an adult) are welcome to join our free art activities.
Laura Braaten: Recent Works Laura Braaten has been in love with stitching since she first learned embroidery at age nine. She explores this passion through slow stitch, sashiko, quilting, and garment making. In the last several years Laura has committed to repurposing fabric. Her longtime meditation practice has deepened her love of stitching as a source of tranquility. Laura loves sharing her passion for textiles with others. Stitch by stitch we heal our lives. Stitch by stitch we connect with ourselves and others. https://www.ithacagallerynight.com/exhibits/sewgreen Between the hostile winter weather, the worrisome economy, and the divisive political climate, it's a rough landscape for local businesses right now. However, the SewGreen team is committed to continuing our mission of sustainability and serving our community in these difficult times. We're so grateful for your continued support and know that together we will make it through! Here are some fun events and other news we wanted to share with you.
We are so excited to get started on our Spring classes! But first we have to clear out our storage area and get rid of inventory cluttering ups our classroom. So we are having a giant By-the-Bag Sale! Please help us get the word out by telling your friends and networks!
