Sew Fun! Workshops at the COMO Thrift
Sew Fun! Workshops at the COMO Thrift offer a hands-on creative experience at Stonington Community Center (The COMO), a cornerstone organization in the local community known for its programming, outreach, and support of arts and education. Designed as a welcoming workshop series, the program invites participants of all skill levels to explore sewing in an environment that emphasizes creativity, accessibility, and connection.
The workshops are structured with beginners in mind while still allowing flexibility for those with more experience. Participants can choose from simple starter projects or bring their own ideas to develop, creating a balance between guided learning and personal expression. A unique aspect of the program is its focus on upcycling, with access to materials from the COMO Thrift Shop, encouraging a resourceful and sustainable approach to design.
Beyond the technical skills, the workshops highlight the social side of making, bringing together individuals and families in a shared creative space. The setting inside the thrift shop adds an element of discovery, with materials and inspiration readily available. As part of the COMO’s broader mission, Sew Fun! Workshops reflect a commitment to community engagement, creativity, and opportunities for people to come together and create.
