Whether you’re an experienced sewist hoping to exchange tips and tricks, want to get more familiar with your own sewing machine, or curious about sewing but not sure where to start, join us at 11am on Saturday, September 12 for a workshop covering the basics of sewing and mending your own clothes!

We will cover the basics of sewing machine set up and a few beginner stitches, as well as some simple hand mending techniques. We will provide limited fabric, thread, and two machines but we encourage you to bring your own machine, supplies, or any items you're hoping to mend or alter. Registration is required. Ages 12+, but children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

To register, go to oberlinlibrary.org/events or call 440-774-4790.

From September 4th - November 27th, Oberlin College student Jenny Wei is offering the community a trial of the Eight-Pieces Brocade (also known as the "Ba Duan Jin"), an ancient Chinese Qigong complex featuring eight gentle movements designed to enhance physical health, balance, and mental well-being. This low-intensity practice promotes the flow of qi (energy), and improves physical strength, supporting holistic mind-body wellness.

Classes will meet weekly on Fridays from 5-5:45 pm. Please note there is NO session on October 2nd or October 30th. Go to oberlinlibrary.org/events for the full schedule.
